With the birth of my first, when the delivery nurse said to my husband -- "look, the head is coming out," despite my utter exhaustion, I bolted upright (22 hours of labor can really take a toll on your energy level) and said "NO!! He's not allowed to look!!!" Even if I hadn't done that, hubby had been schooled on the prohibition against looking, so he was saying, "uh, I'm not allowed" just as I was bolting upright.

Then why why why would anyone, ANYONE ask you if you wanted to watch the video of the miraculous birth of their child? Why would you want your child to watch its own birth? Isn't that traumatizing to the child? I'm not speaking from first hand experience because my friends know for a fact that the childbirthing video we were forced to watch in high school horrified me enough to never offer that option to me. But others have told me that they had such offer to watch said video. I was shocked. Amazed. Hell, I can't even watch the birth of puppies - and they're sooo cuuuute.
