    That is a great article!!

    I love this paragraph:

    Women logging onto YouTube to watch birth is a natural inclination, said Eugene Declercq, a professor at the Boston University School of Public Health. ?A hundred and fifty years ago women viewed birth on a pretty regular basis ? they saw their sisters or neighbors giving birth,? he said, adding that it wasn?t until the late 19th century that birthing moved out of living rooms and bedrooms and into hospitals. ?But now, with YouTube, we?ve come back around and women have this opportunity to view births again.?
