Why do people video tape births?

[Dis]

Doesn't it seem strange to be video taping down there for that reason? Maybe they don't get close ups "down there". But I was under the impression that they did.

Seems strange to me. But what do I know about women or birth.

because people are sentimental

nothing spells sentimental like intense pain and ugly stretching

Realistic AND sentimental. That's some great home movie. And then when would people actually WATCH it, and who on earth would they SHOW it to?

"Here, son, let's take a look at Moms bleeding vagina."

Hmmm, doesn't really have that much of an appeal to me. Wonder why?

"Look what you did to your mother 13 years ago, young man!"

When I saw my sister born, it was the most amazing thing I had ever seen. It is a miracle of nature. You don't have to show it to anyone. Maybe you just want to keep something to remind you of what is awe-inspiring in life.

My mother wasn't lying down during the birth, though. She used what is called a "birthing stool." So I didn't have to stare at her junk... probably helped to make it a beautiful, rather than embarrassing, moment.

Another reason is for educational purposes. I know when I was pregnant, I was scared to death of what it would be like. Describing it is just not the same.

Why do people videotape pets, animals, children, trees, whatever?

Either they are hoping to get paid for the tape being shown on TV or mostly just to fill up their empty lives.

Seeing as my good lady had a caesarian, I imagine a video would be good as an introduction to internal anatomy.

"Look! They're slicing through the abdominal muscles, and that's the uterus!"

Apparently a good deal of you are perverts who imagine that the only thing people who video tape births are interested in are vaginas. Duh.

I think it can be pretty interesting for a 13-or-so year old to watch his own birth... that's indeed, after all, a rather miraculous moment. Sure, the blood and other stuff don't make it too beautiful, but that's part of how things work.

They make the video tapes to save money on food at family get togethers.

"Well, that was fun. Who's ready to eat?"
