Just think of something else or go do something to get your mind off of it. Like shopping, or baking, or watching TV, or read a book

Dear Hanna J
You did not mention how you felt about about what you saw, what your emotional, intellectual, spiritual, and maternal reactionas were. It's hard to give you advice when you don't say how you felt. I don't want to assume that you were disturbed and frightened by what you saw, becuase I think that the Miracle of Birth is a wonderous thing, but being realistic, about it there is also the very real aspect of pain of delivery and the mess of afterbirth. Some people can't see the forest for the trees, I guess.
I know that when I took one of my 7 year old nieces to see the birth of her little sister, (with her parent's permission of course), she was enthralled. She asked intelligent and insightful questions, (and it was obvious that Mommy & Daddy had taken time to explain ahead of time a lot of what would be happening).
She held her mothers hand, mopped her brow with a cool sponge, coached her breathing, and was a very clam and take charge little mid-wife. She didn't even blink at the blood or the mess in the pool, (the delivery was in a "birthing pool" in the Famiily home - (with The Family Doctor and two RN's in attendance, and an ambulance on alert).
The whole house seemed to glow, the love in that home was like st. Elmo's fire -- it bathed everyone and everything in it, I had never seen anything like it. When Emma Skye Walker arrived and was cleaned up, we all sang Happy Birthday to this tiny little bundle of joy, and the Celebration of Life Began. Friends and Neighbors, and relatives quickly cleaned up the Dining room/ *** Birthing room, Mother & infant retired for a quick nap, and all well wishers gathered in the backyard & barn for a bar-b-que and music festival.that went on til the next moring. The Star of the event made several apperances through-out the evening, and was toasted by one and all.
"Mommy" settled in on a comfy overstuffed love seat on the porch with the Old Man and her latest child, and was softly seranaded by the band until both babe abd mother drifted off to sleep in dads arms.
I could'nt get that birth out of my mind either, or that whole day, and I hope I never do. I wish you all the love and joy in the world my dear, and a loving and supportive husband who will care for you always, and strurdy healthly babies to love and raise to strong young men.
Some times there is a small price to be paid for great joy,
Would you give up all the shared joy, pleasure, sensations, ecstasy, intimacy, thrill, and fantasy of sex, because you were afraid of the pain of rupturing the hymen membrane? No? I didn't think so. Good luck.
I'm pulling for you.

I watched the birth of two of my children. Whereas is was an amazing thing to see and I would not trade it for anything, it was also something that would be a little disturbing to people not connected to the situation. The image will gradually reduce, as all things do, but will never go totally away. I would think twice before watching things like this again.

Do you have a fear of giving birth? There must be some reason why you can't get it out of your head. Something is making you think of this. Try to remember that birth is a beautiful thing, yes it is painful but it is worth it to bring a new life into this world. Ask your self the question why are you unable to stop thinking about this incident. Until you can find out why you can't stop thinking about it you may be unable to stop.

I KNOW!!!! I saw this birth on tv, apparently it's now common practice (and safer for the woman) to give birth standing up while bent over the hospital bed. It was a bit disturbing to watch...
Anyway, I stopped thinking about it after a while, but now it's back...
Maybe watch a funny video on youtube or something?

Are you pregnant or thinking about it? When i was pregnant i used to watch Maternity Ward and cry cuz i was jealous that they were having their babies and i was still the size of a house waiting for my turn. (I don't watch it anymore baby is 4 now. ) While the birth process is...messy, greusome is probably better, once you're there you're in it and when it's over you cant believe you just went thru that and survived!!!! and the pain does almost completley disappear right after birth, if there are no problems that is....

Do something else that takes a lot of concentration and that you enjoy. In time you will forget about it, or at least think of it less often. I saw this disturbing tv program a couple of weeks ago and it bummed me out for several days, but finally I got over it.

That's hillarious! I have had the same kind of thing happen to me a lot of times. It was like when I watched Faces of Death, I couldn't get it out of my head, and I hated that. You just need to give it some time and it will pass.

Think of it as something natural, and not something ugly and gross. Every women gives birth differently. And its wonderful to bring new life into this world.

In moments like that, turn to music. Soothing music and repetive motions, like rocking will help. Kind of like reliving being rocked to sleep when you were a baby. It will work I promise. You'll go to sleep and wake up somehow more relaxed than you have been in years. You'll wake up looking for a breast.
