'I was nervous about being portrayed in pain, but we were keen on having a record of how our baby was born'at 3am, the day after my due date, my instinct was to pick up the video camera, as I’d got so used to recording myself. I crept downstairs and, holding the camera in front of me, whispered to the screen, ‘I’m confused. I was expecting contractions in my bump, but the pain’s in my back.
Warren carried on filming, but we got a few funny looks. Although still confined to my lower back, the frequency of the contractions made me think the baby would come soon. We returned to the hospital where the midwife confirmed I was now 7cm dilated. She told me the baby was in the ‘back to back’ position , which explained the extreme pressure I was feeling there.in the delivery room, I shouted at Warren to keep filming. At no point was I self-conscious – I just wanted my baby out.
