Pregnancy-poll poll Do you, or did you, want to videotape your child`s birth?
(Pregnancy poll by moncheri09, 975 days ago)
Considering it, as long as the video is taken from behind my shoulders, not from behind the doctor!
Definitely. I want the whole experience to be captured!
No friggin' way - who would want to remember THAT?!
I'm not really sure.

I don`t want the birth videotaped but I find it very suspicious that at the hospital I am delivering they won`t let you videotape it! Don`t tell me that I can`t do something because of course then I wanted to. It just seems very odd to me.

My husband turned the camera on as soon as my son was out... he skipped the pushing part which I`m very thankful for because I don`t even want to see what I looked like at that point. He got only the baby because I was being stitched up down there so it was nice. I hate being on camera.

I decided I was going to videotape it from the side view. We set up the camera and made sure it was from the side and you couldn`t see `down there` well not even thinking once it was time to push and have the baby they made me slide down the bed. I watched the video and it showed `down there`, but not a close up and I`m really glad it turned out that way. It`s something only I watch.

My hospital won`t allow videos or pictures during birth.

Yeah... I don`t want the birthing recorded but I think the first few minute would be nice to have on video or in pictures. I don`t think that I would ever forget that moment, but it would be nice to look back on it... not so much the birthing period though lol.

I would have done it in an instant. However, the hospital my son was born in did not allow it:(

My husband is a tech guy, and if he was filming, he would be worried about the camera and not about supporting me! So I would prefer just a couple of pictures.

I did not want the birth video taped, but I had a C-section and my husband made a video for everyone to see. I reccomend having a video because watching our reactions and the baby`s first cries is the most amazing thing that you can relive everytime you watch the video. I`d say make as many videos as possible more than take pictures because THOSE are the special things that bring back all the memories. I wish we made more videos.. but since I had a csection I wasn`t in much control l0l.
My birth video is on my page watch it and you will see what I am talking about!!

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
