My first was a c-section and I really wanted a mirror to watch what was going on. For fear that my husband would pass out, we opted for no mirror. I'm having a RCS in a few weeks and I really want to see. Am I crazy? I know some moms watch themselves give birth vaginally so I don't see why I can't watch myself give birth via c/s. Trying to figure out the logisitics of me seeing it without DH seeing it would be an issue and I know if I bring up this subject with him again I'm going to get major side eye. Anyone out there that has watched their c-section? Thoughts?

Surprise BFP# 5 - 9/2/16 - Due 5/13/17
I wanted to see as well. Hell, I asked my doctor if my vbac failed and I had to have another section, could I help lift her out. He politely nixed the idea, but yes, I wanted to see what was going on.
As a compromise to the mirror, DH took tons of pics so I could relive it all, flipbook style (he did the same with my first section). They're the coolest pictures I have.
I dont think its weird at all. My dh got pics of them cutting me open and stretching my belly to pull her out. Pretty graphic pics and I am glad for them.

My cousin asked to see her second section. She's a nurse, so she really wanted to see it. She had a whole list of requests for her second section. I think they let her.
DH was worried that he didn't want to see it, but he did look and he took lots of pictures, I love having them. But I'm not sure that I could have watched at the time.
