Just reviewing and found this! Now remember I am an RN, have worked L&D, yes and Lit teacher too - went through degree collecting stage - "finding myself" (now home kitty mom) so anything medical fascinates me but personally I really liked having the mirrors! I also like watching births on Health TV or whatever you call it. For one thing, it takes your mind off some of the action (if you are the laboring mom) and the whole thing is utterly fascinating! I mean, don't you gasp in wonder at watching puppies and kitties being born? I have only seen it on Animal Planet but it is great! Now as far as sharing these photos etc at the office - Uh-Uh. Johanna - when your time comes - I hope you at least give the mirrors a try - they do help you to focus on the birth and OFF the contractions, etc and really participate in the delivery! (think about it ) It's not gross, no way. All NORMAL & NATURAL
