She wanted to show her birth live on the internet as a teaching tool.? About 3,000 people viewed the birth as it happened.? We saw her walk around, eating in labor, in the shower, in the water birth tub and with an epidural.? People cheered her on via twitter.? There were discussions of what we would have done should we have been in the room, just like Monday morning quarterbacking in real time.? We even joked that a live feed the other direction would have been nice so we could help Lynsee.? We all wanted to scream, “You’re doing great!” at our computers.

There was a lot of postbirth discussion that the comments made as people tweeted about the birth were seen as criticizing.What do you think?? Jill at The Unnecesarean has some good discussion going on.

(And can I just say thanks for rounding out our week on birth stories?? The timing of your birth was great.)
