At the boys birth (both breech=c-section) the anesthesiologist offered to "spot" him since you only have one chance to see your children being born. Against all previous discussion he got up to watch and says it is the greatest thing he has ever done. Or more specifically "It is the closest thing to seeing God's true face." I say try it. Whats the worst that happens? He passes out or throws up in a room full of doctors? My husband too is the absolutely “no blood no guts” type.

It just looks like they pull the babies out of the stomache. I feel lied to! I'm very much on the fence about C-Section verses vaginal childbirth (with drugs of course) and I really appreciate these stories. I will have to say that for most singleton moms they ended up with a C-Section after 40 horus of labor so wouldn't it be nice to skip the labor part? The photos were great - and those of Goddess in Progress at her story too! I'd also like to hear if any mom found that their husband couldn't be in the room. My husband faints at blood and doesn't want to come into the OR. How come I never see them “stuff” the “guts” back in on Discovery Health? It just looks like they pull the babies out of the stomache.

I fear M will never be the same after that sight... :-) The “stuffing your guts back in” reminds me that I should have told the story of how M saw my uterus on the outside of my body, and how they poured in and suctioned out several gallons of water so my insides would be squeaky clean.
