Right now as I type, a momma of one of my attending midwives in is labor & streaming her birth!

What an awesome way to give a right perspective of & normalize birth!
I'm tagging @Arden: @luckypenny: b/c I know they were interested the other day. =)

Ahh! So ..unique! I would never be brave enough to let the world watch, props to her! I wonder when she'll start pushing?

I am seriously all for natural births, but the idea of live streaming it on the internet is just... icky to me. I feel like birth is pretty much the most intimate private thing (well, besides the act that got you pregnant in the first place) so I would only want the selected loved ones I chose there, not the entire internet. But, to each her own I guess.

I love her tub. I wish I had something like that at home!
Someone said the midwife just gave some drops. Any idea what they are?

@Thehistoryofus: Not a clue. lol
@Bao: Lol. Me too, but how awesome! It's so rare to see normal birth these days, I think she rocks stepping out there and showing the world! They made a fb event & show 900 "going" eek that's so cool!

Any one know the status? How long has she been in labor? Any idea dilation at this point? How many weeks is she?

@Thehistoryofus: the description said her EDD was 1-06-13 so she is full term. I doubt they're doing cervical checks at this point though.

@Thehistoryofus: I just asked on the chat. I know her MIL has been part of it so maybe someone will answer!

Stats: this is her 2nd homebirth, and "at 8am she was 5 minutes apart. Water broke about 45 minutes ago. Feeling lots of pressure. Pushy."
And they just went offline.

@runsyellowlites: I know I just saw they went off line. Maybe she needed to get out of the tub or something?

@Thehistoryofus: Oooh they're back! I think they have to occasionally go offline & then come back to run ads. idk.. I just don't want to miss bebes appearance!

They went offline for like 2 minutes and when it came back she was born!
Dad was working the stream so I guess he had a good excuse. lol
YAY Congrats to this momma she totally rocked it!
