We couldve filmed ours...

I had an emergency cs with an epi, and DH brought the camera in. There was actually a nurse in there who took the camera to take photos for us, and spent the entire procedure taking pictures have some great guts photos lol)

But they said nothing about NOT filming..we mentioned it, but I didnt want it filmed in the end, so we just did heaps of photos.

I say dont ask. Just start filming...if they say no you have them denying you the right to film the birth of your child...then they will have to say why. No doctor wants to go on tape saying "you cant film this in case we screw up and you can sue us" lol
