What camera you used to capture child birth and where did you set it up?

My wife wants to record the birth for memories and also as advised by her doula. What camera you used for recording child birth and where did you set it up?

I am looking at options like insta 360 or a body cam, would it work?

Advice needed I 25F am pregnant in a new city with bf 38M

0 Upvotes

I recently moved in with my new bf 38m around may 19th. Dr says I’m 22 weeks which doesn’t add up to the date I arrived. I had an ex who was abusive spiritually, verbally, sexually, physically and mentally, so I ghosted him because of how dangerous the situation got.
This baby might be that ex’s. I want nothing to do with him.
I’m happy in the relationship I’m in, like I’ve finally found my person. Now I feel I’m being ripped apart. We thought it was his.
I’m thinking I was either raped in my sleep, or our roommate 38F says u can get prego 4 weeks before conception.
Anyways I’m in a new town, new place. I don’t know anybody. Our roommate somehow is convinced I’m a manipulative scumbag. As a result, she convinced him I’m someone I’m not. I’m the type who’s willing to fix myself and mend toxic behaviors.
They don’t believe me when I explain what happened to me I feel.
I love this man. He says if it isn’t his, he’s had enough and we can’t be together.
I guess my question is. Is there a way out of this? I keep praying. I feel so alone and anxious to be open enough to be myself.
I haven’t been able to eat or sleep much once I learned it could be my exs kid.
I’ll respect his decision, I’ll move on if I have to. I just want to be sure I’m not missing anything</3

Advice needed I need advice

1 Upvotes

First off I want to apologize if anything comes out wrong or disrespectful or even just dumb. But this feels more like a rant that anything, I’m hoping this reaches the right audience and maybe some Catholics (as I am)

For context my gf is 18 weeks pregnant, during the first trimester I wasn’t the best help mostly bc I had no idea what was going on but now I’m better at least I think, I know I’m not perfect and sometimes can be super stubborn and hard headed but even my gf has admitted she is too.
Now for the main event, i understand hormones are all over the place but sometimes she just says she doesn’t care about me or my opinion when i try to comment anything. For example she wanted to go to ACL festival during October and I mentioned that might not be a good idea because it’s a crowded event and something could happen to the baby or her (to prove my point while at dinner this past week we had to run to the ER nothing major but yall get my point) well she suggested to let her know to sell my ticket because she’s going either way. Part of me wants to talk to her parents but then again (she’s kind of daddy’s girl ) and feel like he’ll say well if you can’t put up with her she’ll find someone else.

Like I said I honestly just need some advice and hope to navigate this as best as I can. I want to be the best dad and husband God willing !

I think its going to happen

I’m going to be a dad… and I honestly didn’t expect this
I’m 33, and I never really saw myself becoming a dad yet. It wasn’t supposed to happen now, but I guess it’s happening.
I’m feeling pretty overwhelmed.

My girlfriend took three tests, so yeah… it seems very real.
I always thought I’d have more time to chase some of my dreams first, but now that this is happening, there are a million things going through my head.

I feel like I suddenly need to learn about everything.
How to raise a child, how much we should save for their future and education, how I can support my girlfriend as much as possible during the pregnancy, what she should or shouldn’t eat, how I’m going to arrange things with work… We also just bought a house, so there’s already a lot going on.

But the thing I keep thinking about most is: how do I actually do this well?
How do I give my child the best start I possibly can? Not just financially, but when it comes to parenting, education, knowledge, health, emotional support, and just preparing them for life in general.
Sometimes i think im still learning myself things, and im kinda childish behaviour myself.

I’ve already ordered a few books, and I guess I have about nine months to learn as much as I can before the real learning begins.

For the parents here: what do you wish someone had told you when you first found out you were going to have a child?
Are there things you wish you had done during the pregnancy to prepare? Books, habits, financial decisions, things you did for your partner, or just small things that ended up making a big difference?

I haven’t told anyone yet, so I guess Reddit is the first place.
And I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing yet. It doesnt feel real but also it feels real.

(Sorry for the broken english sentences english isnt my first language)
