Recording birth

Hi there, has anyone recorded their baby delivery in any government hospital? Do they allow that?

Hey! So from what I've heard, most government hospitals in Singapore do allow recording during delivery, but it really depends on the individual doctor and midwife on duty, some are fine with it, others prefer you keep it to the pushing stage only and not the more clinical parts. My friend delivered at SGH and said the staff there were generally accommodating as long as you ask beforehand and don't get in the way of the medical team. It's probably best to bring it up during one of your pre-natal check-ins so everyone is aligned before the big day, rather than springing it on them in the delivery suite. Some mums said their partners had no issues recording, while a few mentioned the nurse stepped in when the camera angle got too close to the medical procedures, so just be prepared that they may set some boundaries on what exactly can be filmed.
