Thanks for clarifying.
Matt
P.S. I am hoping the the hospital has an observation deck above the operating room, so i stay out of sight.

Subject: Re: Filmming a Birth
The woman giving birth is in charge
and you have to do what she says. The birth itself is more important than
your movie, it is a life-or-death situation. I have heard tales of
women who planned to have many (non-essential) people attending a birth,
it's going to be a wonderful communal event, la la la, but when push comes
to shove (sorry for the pun) the woman changes her mind and yells "Everybody
get the hell out of here!!!" Being "extremely flexible"
means that you do not question her request, you do not try to change her
mind, you do it immediately.
I would also recommend that you learn
a lot about childbirth before you attend, read lots of birth stories. There
is a wide range of possible developments, you should be comfortable with
your knowledge of what will happen, and what might happen. It's usually
wonderful, it can be quite scary.

be extremely flexible, and discuss with the parents beforehand what they
are comfortable with. make sure you have plenty of extra battery
packs, as this could take a lot longer than you expect and it would not
be advisable to run electrical cords in the room. if you are filming
in a hospital, get all necessary clearance ahead of time. good luck,
what an honor.
enjoy today...
