An important part of preparing to have a baby is watching a baby birth video. If you have never seen a baby being born, it is a good idea to know what to expect before heading into the delivery room.
Many of the birthing classes offered through health departments, hospitals, and your Doctor’s office will show a birthing video to help you get a better grasp of what the two of you will be seeing and experiencing during delivery.
The second item you should consider is creating your own baby birth video. Some parents shy away from the idea of this, wondering who would they ever allow to watch this video. It shows some very private parts of the mother, and a very intensive situation, where surprising things are often said.
The truth, the video will probably only be for the benefit of three very important people in your life. The three sharing this experience together. You, as the two parents, will love to go back and experience this moment again. Mothers get an entirely new experience of the situation. They were so wrapped up in their hard work, they never saw, or understood much of what was going on.
Dads are normally so worried about mom, they miss 90 percent of what is really happening during the birthing process. By having a baby birth video you can experience all the things you missed. Dad can even show mom exactly where she said all those naughty words. She is of course forgiven, intense pain and effort brings out amazing things.
The third person may never care to see this video until they are teenagers or even older. Your new child will have no interest in this video until they understand how magical a process it was which brought them into the world. This will be even more true for daughters. As they approach an age of wanting to have children, they will become very interested in the process, and seeing their own birth could be amazing to them.
Who is going to record this video? Some clinics and hospitals are equipped to do the filming. Most will allow you to bring in your own equipment and setup a tripod. Dad, you may be tempted to claim you can film the entire event. You would be telling a lie. You will not be able to stay focused on making a video, you will be busy carrying for your wife.
Nurses are often willing to help with the process, up until they are required to get busy with their main job, taking care of your wife and baby. Discuss this option with your care facility and your Doctor, and they will tell you what is available, and possible.
Whether you choose to make your own baby birth video, or not, make sure you take time to view a training video to prepare yourself the the coming birth. Knowledge can help make the process smoother, and easier for both mothers and dads.
