"Let's watch some videos of deliveries" she said as we were together on our bed, me applying oil on the stretched tummy skin. Just less than 2 months to go and only now we think of viewing deliveries together. I didn't think of it earlier either when I could have.
These days, it's as easy as reaching over to the iPhone, tapping on the YouTube icon and doing a search for "baby delivery". Not the biggest screen at home but at easy arms length, the iPhone screen is sufficient for streaming smooth and continuous videos over 3G.
Over a variety of videos, we watched the process of labour in final stages, baby's head popping out, turning, all the way to full delivery including placenta. Of course there were also those with episiotomies and a caesarean section. "Oooh the pain....." was a repeated mumble till we both fell asleep shortly after.
This one's the best, complete with soothing music, and the mother appears calm enough to pat her baby's head half way through too!
