There's a Delivery Mirror

Near the end of my delivery, my very enthusiastic doctor had a brilliant idea. "Bring in the mirror," she told a nurse. "You're going to want to see this!" For a set of pushes, I got to watch what was going on behind the curtain, long enough to see my baby's head crowning. Long enough to want to stop looking.

I should have asked my doc to get rid of it, but in an attempt to be amenable to the person delivering my baby, I closed my eyes instead. It might be cool for some moms to see everything, but if it'll only creep you out — or distract you — just say no.
