I had a call from my MW this afternoon asking if it would be OK to film my elective on Tuesday. Cool aye!! it might make me famous lol
It kinda makes it a little bit better if i fail my VBAC journey, so what ever will be, will be. When ever it happens; its going to be a special day regardless!!  ------------- Mummy of Two Boys B: 2004 K: 2007 |

I actually just watched a breeched baby born by CS on you tube which interested me as I never saw mine. IF i ever have another and have to have a ceasar I so want to film mine too... Once you gt over the gorre stuff it will be a very special thing to have and watch.
Oh I also had a friend who video'd hers and offered me to watch hers before I had my ceasar - shes had 3 ceasars. i didn't watch it though. ------------- Ann

Went looking at you-tube & found the c-sec video- thought I'd share with those that are interested. **Graphic content- please be warned!! LOTS of guts & gore!!** http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pky9DHxH0uo - C-Sec Video ------------- Mummy of Two Boys B: 2004 K: 2007 |

just waiting for the video to download - is it really an hour long? 
I wanted our CS filmed but they said it was hospital policy not to but my MW took some photos for us. Would have liked to have had "during" photos but I guess with an ECS they've got other stuff to do 
ETA: Sorry Glow, I have no manners at all! Thanks for posting the link and all the best for your big event! Can;t wait to hear all about it and of course see pics of bubs ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I'm sorry but I just watched that and it further decided me that I want a VBAC if at all possible.
A friend of mine has always siad with her c-sections that she didn't give birth, her babies were taken from her. I never really got that until watching that video. Now I totally understand where she was coming from. I know I lot of people won't agree with my comment and I still think a c-section is spot on if the health of mother and/or baby is in danger but why would people choose to do that when they could give birth naturally. I've seen a vaginal birth first hand and it was beautiful. That was just surgery. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I understand where you are coming from Gen - But in my case I definitely don't agree that my baby was "taken from me".
I carried her for 9mths, laboured as best I could and when it all went wrong the surgery saved her life. I feel that the surgeon helped me to deliver her and I don't think I had anything taken away from me because of it. Perhaps it was due to my amazing support people or just my frame of mind. With #2, if I do go down the Elective CS road, then I will still feel the same - that the surgeon helped me and bubs to start our lives in the best possible way. This is just MY OPINION (so don't read it if you don't want to as I know a lot of people will disagree), but I don't think the method of birth is as important as some people make us believe. I know my daughter arrived the best/safest way for us and I've never had any issues with bonding (had it drumed into us at Antenatal class that *ALL* CS mums take ages to bond to their baby for the exact reason you gave). I think it is more important that I carried her for 9 months, grew her from a tiny speck and have looked after her the best I could for the past year and will continue to do so for many many years to come. To me the birth is the shortest event in your whole lives together, so I choose not to put too much emphasis on it. **This isn't a rant at anyone at all, I just feel very strongly about this** I agree that VBs are best for some, but certainly not all. I hope you get your VB when the time comes ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Here is a photo of Kalyx seconds old (unfortunately the spotlights on my guts-can you see his bum in the background)
Kalyx minutes old 
These are a few my DP took in theater Am looking forward to getting my disk in the mail of photos from the hospital. Unfortunately they only took what they called subsequential still photos rather than a video but apparently they are really good- & it will go toward a good cause for training surgeons etc. ------------- Mummy of Two Boys B: 2004 K: 2007 |

Wow only saw this. Great video. When I was a student nurse I got to watch a c-sect up close and personal and believe me now I know why I have no feeling (it just like pins and needles) around my scar and lower tummy region b'cos they can be so rough! Wow that vid awesome ------------- http://lilypie.com">
