This 27-year-old woman and her partner, who is 31, will be welcoming a baby into the world in just a few weeks. But, he wants to film the entire birthing process– from the onset of contractions until after the baby arrives– and she just isn’t on board.

First of all, most hospitals do not allow filming for a variety of reasons, from maintaining staff privacy to limiting liability.

Her hospital does allow filming at each doctor’s discretion, though. Still, she simply is not comfortable with her partner filming.

“I am going to probably be in extreme pain and vulnerable, and I don’t want to feel more ‘watched’ than I already will during those moments,” she began.

Secondly, she would prefer to have her partner be fully present at the moment and engaged– especially if they have to make any decisions together. And she’s worried that won’t happen if he is preoccupied with camera angles and filming.

Finally, she just doesn’t want her partner to distract or interfere with the birth by making other people in the room worried about how their actions might appear on camera– whether that’s her or the medical staff.

“I feel strongly about it,” she underscored, “And I have already told him I don’t want it.”

Yet, her partner has insisted that filming the birth is really important to him. So, he actually accused her of not respecting what he finds important– which is the family documentation and memories that the birth film could provide.

Still, she honestly doesn’t really care about any of that since she is the one who will be giving birth.

“And I’m thinking about not allowing him in the delivery room if he won’t accept that he can’t film it,” she vented.

Before she pulls the trigger and bars him from being in the room, though, she can’t help but wonder whether refusing to let her partner film the birth of their child is really so unreasonable or not.

Can you understand why the idea of being filmed makes her so uncomfortable? Do you think her partner should respect her wishes since she’ll be the one who is in a vulnerable state? How do you suggest she handles this situation?
