I don't regret it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recording-your-los-birth#post-740946 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 23:38:36 +0000 glimmersnaps 740946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To be honest I have a hard time even looking at other people's video/photos! I didn't have any documentation of the labor and would not have wanted it. We took photos after he was born but that's it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recording-your-los-birth#post-740897 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 22:26:02 +0000 mrskc 740897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hospital doesn't allow it, but I wish I had a video. They didn't have the mirror positioned where I could see so I didn't get to watch him being born and at the time I didn't really care. But now the moment is so fuzzy, I wish I had a video to look back on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recording-your-los-birth#post-740891 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 22:10:09 +0000 lemondrop 740891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't do it, and I have no regrets and zero interest in reliving those hours. I'm perfectly content in the couple photos of us holding him.</p> <p>The photos of my husband's reaction to holding him were great, he was so filled with joy. I was too tired to be sentimental and was pretty much shell shocked. The photos I treasure were actually taken the next day by my brother, just photos of C by himself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recording-your-los-birth#post-740859 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 21:30:40 +0000 Photo Book Girl 740859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Taking some videos POST-birth were just fine with me. I love watching them. Their cries are so different when they're newborns and they change so quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recording-your-los-birth#post-740857 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 21:27:26 +0000 Arden 740857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a birth photographer taking photos, and my Mom with a video camera. I'm really glad I did. The photos are beautiful, and the video (even though it's not something I would share with anyone) was so helpful to me when trying to emotionally process Vi's birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recording-your-los-birth#post-740856 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 21:26:34 +0000 birdofafeather 740856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope and don't regret it. Keep that memory in my head not on film! I do have photos though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recording-your-los-birth#post-740544 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 17:45:39 +0000 aprk 740544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm glad none of that mess was on video. My doula did record what happened in writing, which was nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recording-your-los-birth#post-740539 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 17:43:14 +0000 Ra 740539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't want a video camera or a regular camera anywhere near me when I'm giving birth! I've seen a live birth before and have no interest of ever seeing one again, even if it's my own son! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recording-your-los-birth#post-740530 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 17:39:59 +0000 tysonja 740530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no record and i don't regret! would've loved to take more photos RIGHT when he was born, though! :)</p> <p>i lost most of them off my now dead iphone :*( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recording-your-los-birth#post-740527 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 17:37:50 +0000 MrsStormy 740527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Irishmom: Same with mine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recording-your-los-birth#post-739983 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 13:43:28 +0000 BelugaBean 739983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't record it and I don't regret it at all. I found the whole process to be painful and I don't really want to see what it looked (or sounded) like to other people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recording-your-los-birth#post-739979 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 13:42:41 +0000 Alivoo01 739979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is still in utero, but I don't plan on having the birth recorded. I am having a photographer come in and take pictures of everything, but nothing down south. I just want her to take pictures of emotions at a particular moment. Something similar to this.<br /> <a href="http://brittanygphotography.com/blog/?p=1597" rel="nofollow">http://brittanygphotography.com/blog/?p=1597</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recording-your-los-birth#post-739975 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 13:42:03 +0000 Running Elley 739975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't do it and I definitely don't regret it.. I don't ever even think about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recording-your-los-birth#post-739962 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 13:38:44 +0000 blackbird 739962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope and don't regret it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recording-your-los-birth#post-739949 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 13:34:51 +0000 heffalump 739949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't do it and I don't regret it at all. I love LO.... but childbirth wasn't fun for me and I don't want to remember it. We turned on the camera after she was out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recording-your-los-birth#post-739943 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 13:33:22 +0000 Irishmom 739943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hospital (or OB practice...not sure which one) didn't allow video cameras during the delivery. I was fine with that because I didn't want anything related to the delivery to be videotaped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recording-your-los-birth#post-739941 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 13:33:10 +0000 googly-eyes 739941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No I didn't except a couple short shots of the hospital part of labor... Don't regret it either! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recording-your-los-birth#post-739928 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 13:28:53 +0000 MrsTiz 739928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom recorded mine, I don't know if she ever looked at it again. It's like wedding pictures, IMO..if you often look at that or watch your wedding video, I say have it recorded! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recording-your-los-birth#post-739925 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 13:27:59 +0000 emg86 739925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Didn't know what board to put this under!</p> <p>I'm debating whether we want to set up a video camera or have our doula record LO's birth. There will definitely be pictures taken but I recently started thinking about recording bits and pieces.</p> <p>If you didn't do it, do you regret it? </p>
