At my last birth my secondary MW took some photos- she enjoys it so she was more than happy to do it. She took photos right through the actual birth while my primary MW was focussing on me. We had a student MW who took some video for us too so they were both the paparazzi in the room and I didn't have a clue until I after the birth and I was holding DS2 in the pool still and I noticed the camera at one point then.

DYING to watch your video when I have a moment Bella!!! I'd love to find a professional photographer this time. Just not sure if it's appropriate for us as we're trying to limit the amount of people there so as not to overwhelm my DS1 and give him the space to be part of the birth. Fingers crossed. I think I found a post-natal doula who does birth photography and we want to hire a post-natal doula this time so she could be perfect.
