Well in my case I'll never be able to have another baby so I do miss my son when he was a baby and I do feel sad about that, despite it being a privilege to watch him grow.Yea I never understand people mourn when their baby isn't a little baby anymore umm having a child is about watching a small human grow into an adult I find it awesome to see how they change and grow and develop their own personality.
And yes as others have said birth is often traumatic - it has been for most women I know, with cutting or tearing and all sorts. One of my close friends needed blood transfusions afterwards because she lost so much. Sometimes it’s good that it’s a blur because you wouldn’t want to remember every gory detail.
I'm with you on this, and there is soo much going on that the last thing the midwives need is some other person in the way taking pics !Ive had 2 traumatic births , and I think there’s a reason your brain makes you forget a lot of the horror once your baby is placed in your arms .
I still remember how I felt but to be honest I’m glad a lot of it has been forgotten .
I’m sure there’s a hormone which is released so we do forget . I’m happy just to remember my baby being with me finally , and the other details don’t seem so important .
I appreciate there are births that leave people unable to forget and needing therapy etc so I’m in no way minimising them - don’t want to offend anyone. I know all births are different .
a photographic reminder would be the last thing I wanted .
I mean she compares childbirth to a wedding because she just loves seing pictures of herself in her wedding dress, makeup and all.I'm with you on this, and there is soo much going on that the last thing the midwives need is some other person in the way taking pics !
I think she's got some romantic idea of how her birth is going to be, I hope for her sake it is straightforward, but it's messy, it's painful, its exhausting..why would you want a stranger witnessing this event in your life all for the sake of a few pics that will end up in a box gathering dust !
And let's hope she doesn't poop herself, no one needs a reminder of that particularly embarrassing moment of childbirth!
Even if she doesn't need to go, I'm sure she will manage to pretend she does just for dramatic affect and to capture the moment forever so she can let that poor baby know in the future all she went through for him !She knows she’s going to tit herself right?
The birth itself will be pictures that no one will want or need to see apart from her !! She really has no idea what is ahead and how exhausting labour is, how irritable you get because of the discomfort and pain...the end result is worth it all but like everyone else has said the build up to that is best forgotten and our brains have a way of doing that for us especially if it's traumatic! Why would you need a picture to remind you of that ?! She's delusional and tbh I'm surprised no one in her family has pointed that out to her! The photographer will be rubbing her hands in glee at this nice little earner !Yes, I’m afraid I am sceptical about her spending so much time browsing her wedding photos because of the moments she missed - it’s about looking at herself. The focus was all on that and colour themes etc, I recall at the time they had neglected to book an official/ celebrant and only did so at the prompt of her father her something.
Totally lacks life skills because too busy gazing at herself or anticipating all that delicious future time gazing herself.
Birth seems ugly and primal to me. Would not want to see. And given how posed she always has to be, is she really ready for the raw realness.
