I'm not sure what she did with them because I haven't seen them. Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-any-pictures-or-video-of-you-in-labor#post-1437135 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 14:38:58 +0000 mrskc 1437135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doula took some for us while I was laboring. None of actual birth but some right afterwards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-any-pictures-or-video-of-you-in-labor#post-1437128 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 14:37:42 +0000 cascademom 1437128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Only a few after he was born. Maybe next time, DH will take more during labor pics. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-any-pictures-or-video-of-you-in-labor#post-1437122 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 14:36:53 +0000 Arden 1437122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: I couldn't remember the first words I had said to her, and that really bothered me until I saw the video and heard "Happy birthday baby!". It made me so happy to know that through all the drama and pain I had managed to say that to her right away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-any-pictures-or-video-of-you-in-labor#post-1437120 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 14:36:22 +0000 avivoca 1437120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I was a hot mess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-any-pictures-or-video-of-you-in-labor#post-1437116 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 14:34:47 +0000 Bookish 1437116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just a couple of the beginning, before contractions had really kicked in. DH thought it was hysterical that I was fixing my hair and makeup, so he took pictures of that :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-any-pictures-or-video-of-you-in-labor#post-1437099 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 14:32:15 +0000 HLK208 1437099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes...my mom taped the labor?! I had no idea she would do that. With my second, DH just took a few pictures before I had strong contractions and a few pictures of me holding baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-any-pictures-or-video-of-you-in-labor#post-1437075 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 14:25:14 +0000 Alivoo01 1437075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES!! I hired a birthing photographer and loved it!! She took pictures all throughout my labor, then took pictures of the birth by standing at my head. I would totally hire a birthing photographer again!</p> <p>@Arden: I want a video next time too! There's just some things/emotions that can't be captured in a picture. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-any-pictures-or-video-of-you-in-labor#post-1437036 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 14:20:19 +0000 teamjse 1437036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, and I'm glad, I don't think I want to see pictures of myself in labor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-any-pictures-or-video-of-you-in-labor#post-1437035 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 14:20:14 +0000 Arden 1437035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I had a birth photographer and my mom videoed the birth as well. They are priceless to me, and they really helped me process the birth later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-any-pictures-or-video-of-you-in-labor#post-1437032 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 14:19:52 +0000 MrsH 1437032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not until LO was delivered. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-any-pictures-or-video-of-you-in-labor#post-1437024 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 14:19:13 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1437024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not until after LO was born, and it was well after he was born since he ended up in the NICU. I was grateful that my husband had enough sense not to take any of me in labor. I hated any pictures of me while I was pregnant and certainly didn't want any while I was in labor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-any-pictures-or-video-of-you-in-labor#post-1437017 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 14:17:56 +0000 .twist. 1437017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: ditto! Exactly this. I have pics of my bracelets and laying in bed in a gown before things got scary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-any-pictures-or-video-of-you-in-labor#post-1437013 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 14:16:58 +0000 LomaLinda 1437013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, my husband was snapping pictures with his phone while I was in labor. At the time I had no interest in being photographed and didn't think I wanted the pictures taken, but now I treasure them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-any-pictures-or-video-of-you-in-labor#post-1437008 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 14:15:34 +0000 LuLu Mom 1437008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a pre-hospital picture, and one of me laying in bed with DH before hard labor started. None from pushing through. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-any-pictures-or-video-of-you-in-labor#post-1436973 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 14:10:52 +0000 Smurfette 1436973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH took some of the room and me all hooked up with the oxygen mask (think that was what it was). None when I was pushing since he was holding a leg up. Right after I made him get the camera so he could take pictures while they cleaned her up a bit and tested her. Then he took pictures when I finally got to hold her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-any-pictures-or-video-of-you-in-labor#post-1436962 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 14:09:35 +0000 mrs. wagon 1436962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just a few in my hospital gown and laying in the bed during peaceful bits of labor. All subjected to my approval because I was a hot mess towards the ends of my pregnancies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-any-pictures-or-video-of-you-in-labor#post-1436961 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 14:09:28 +0000 illumina 1436961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>None, thank goodness! Dh told me afterwards that I actually turned blue! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-any-pictures-or-video-of-you-in-labor#post-1436953 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 14:08:16 +0000 cmomma17 1436953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our doula took somewhere around 85 pictures of the laboring and birth. They are pretty amazing to have. It took a few months before DH and I could look at them without crying.<br /> It also helped our moms, who we didn't allow to be in the room for the labor and birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-any-pictures-or-video-of-you-in-labor#post-1436938 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 14:05:59 +0000 lovehoneybee 1436938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took a few "last bump" photos when I was in early labor, but none at the hospital until after he came out (and then my MIL took some photos, including D holding him for the first time, him handing E to me, and the first latch, for which I'm eternally grateful). I'm kinda annoyed with myself in retrospect--I had brought my nice camera and promptly forgot about it! </p> <p>If I have another LO I'd love to have some birth photos taken! </p>
