I had photos taken of me during the labour and actual birth. (the last 10mins)

We had a student Dr in the room with us, the midwife had asked us during the labour is it ok and my DH said "only if he takes photos and makes himself useful!" (rather than just watching the birth!) so DH handed him the camera and he got snap happy and took some amazing photos of me pushing, DD's head coming out, DD first entering the world and our first look at each other and our first family photo mins after the birth.... pretty special.

I thought it might be distracting having him take photos of me while I was pushing etc but I didn't care, as I was too focused on what I was doing.... we're going to do it for the next bub too.... as long as someone takes the photos, doesn't matter who.

Although there is some blood & yucky bits in some of the photos (my bits!!) they are pretty special photos and it's lovely to look back over them to realise "WOW I did really do that!!!!" pretty chuffed!!

Amber - can you please send me that link/website? thanks hun
