Women Who Have their Babies on the Internet

Lynsee., a Minneapolis mom-to-be is due to give birth on November 11 and she plans to share live video footage of her delivery on the Internet at momslikeme.com. The San Francisco Chornicle reports.

Lynsee won't be the first woman to share video footage of her delivery with the public. Type "childbirth delivery" into the YouTube search and over 300 results appear. Simply type "childbirth" and you'll get over 4,000 results.

On YouTube moms are sharing videos of their real-life experiences with giving birth under hypnosis, to Caesarean sections, to births in bathtubs. One remarkable video of a home birth has been viewed more than 2 million times. (The majority of YouTube videos depict home births because many hospitals restrict the use of video cameras due to liability issues.)
