I was present for 3/4 of my siblings births (the 4th was an emergency c section). I was 2.5 for the first one so I don't really remember. I was 5 for the second and it was a home birth. While I remember standing in the doorway and watching, my Mom's labor notes say that I was very encouraging saying things like "You can do it Mommy!". When I was 12 my sister was born in the hospital and I remember being there but honestly don't remember the birth. I would really like to see anothe . Maybe when my sisters have children they will let me be in the room with them.

@Rainbow Sprinkles: @erynpie: my dad has it, too. He passed out while my mom was birthing one of my sisters and had to be taken to the ER.
Yes, once, when I was 13 and a volunteer at the hospital where my mom worked. I was considering being a doctor at that point, and it was a teaching hospital. A really sweet Mama let me watch. It was amazing!

Nope, and not even my own since I had c-sections. I don't think I'll ever see one unless DD wants me there when she has babies

@IRunForFun: I agree about not finding it gross. I find it amazingly beautiful. In that moment, it feels like all of the power in the world is in that room.
I've never seen a cesarean birth, and I'd love to be able to document that for a client.

@MrsBrewer: It's so wonderful you could be there for her!

lots, but I am a nurse so it is part of my job description:)

@Mrs.Pinecone316: Nurses are the biggest blessing! I was just at a hospital to support my best friend, and her nurses were amazing.

A couple dozen at work and my own via mirror, obviously a lot easier to watch other people do it.
