So who is watching their own c-section?

My doctor with DS#2 asked if I wanted a mirror to watch my c-section.  I didn't know that was an option and said yes.  It was pretty cool to watch DS come out.  That kind of stuff doesn't bother me.  I watched everything from start to when they sewed me up.  If you don't have a weak stomach, you should ask your doctor if that is an option for you.  I plan on watching again her for DD's c-section.

Not even if they paid me to watch it!

My blood pressure couldn't handle seeing my own insides .

You are brave! I don't know if I could do it only cause it was myself.

I wasn?t offered a viewing of my CS, but I saw it all reflected in the OR lights above me.

Well, almost all. I turned away when it came to pulling our boy out.

I needed something to focus on as it was an unplanned CS,  hubby wasn?t allowed to be with me, and I was really freaking out.

I couldn't take it.  DH did see my guts both times though.  He said my uterus was thick and smooth.  Gross.

I wish I could have watched everything but I only watched her coming out.  We got a few pictures of her right before she came all the way out and they were fascinating.  I wish I could have videotaped everything.

I want to but my DH is afraid he might see something he doesn't want to see lol

FI said he video-taped the whole c-section with his DD and if they let him, will do it again with this one, but I told him I definitely did not want to watch it!

They asked me and I always thought I would want to but I immediatley said NO!  I was already a wreck and just wanted it to be over with.

I plan to watch mine!  They put the standard blue tarp up while doing the actual cutting, but then change to a clear one for the rest of the birth.  I am THRILLED that I will get to witness my children enter the world!  

I don't get queasy about stuff like that.  We'll see how DH does
