    Is it possible to watch a video of a c/s birth?

    Hi, just wondering if there is a video of a c/s birth I could watch. I assume not, but thought I'd ask anyway. I wish I could have taped my DD's c/s birth and then watched it later and now instead would like to watch another baby's c/s birth in order to connect with the c/s experience of my DD's birth.

    You might need to register an account (for free) and tick the box that says you are over 18 to see them though

    I'm not sure what is out there, but it would be a great idea to look.

    I don't have a video of my c/s birth, but I have lots of pics. It took me a few weeks before I could look at them, but they did help me feel connected to what happened.

    I have watched one very detailed vid and just be prepared to be a little shocked.

    All the best.

    I have a link that a friend sent me before my c-sect with my DD2 (mine was medically advised due to a footling breech baby). This video is a bit confronting and it is actually aimed at highlighting the negative side of c-sect and the lady eventually had a HBAC, but I found the c-sect part interesting and I thought I went in more prepared for what was going to happen for having seen it.

    If you are looking for a really positive c-sect video, I probably wouldn't open the link. After having experienced a c-sect, I do think it is pretty realistic including all the emotions that she is feeling lying in the bed in theatre.

    I've searched on YouTube before and haven't been able to find any videos there, but just searched again now and a lot came up. Thanks.
