We were videotaping every gruesome second of my daughter's birth, until the midwife said the baby wasn't going to cooperate (she was facing backwards towards the spine) and they called in the MD to cut her out.
They wouldn't let us film the C-Section, but we did get some good pics.

The key is to film it, but not watch it for a long, long time.
When the kid gets older and rebellious, you show it to them for the first time and say "look what your mother went through for you, you ungrateful ingrate!!"
