    but this could be too much.

    Ladies and gentlemen, the understatement of the week.

    Note to Lynsee: no one cares!

    This is the downside to the uprising of blogs; everyone thinks they are now some important part of the equation to the universe. We are not important. None of us. Get over yourselves. #livestreamedchildbirth

    Personally, regardless of what the Net community has to say, I am perfectly fine with this. In fact, I see this as a perfect opportunity for both the (surrogate) mom-to be and the other guardian who will be in the room with her to get a better idea for what the full blog (and it's multimedia additions) can prepare them for.

    It can also suit other constructive purposes, in that it can show underage people the consequences of engaging in sexual activity might bring them to (chances are, they'll be turned off by the growth of the baby and the delivery itself for at least a little while.), and it can also help beginning nursing and other potential neonatal students to better understand all stages of the pregnancy blogged.

    While I understand that there are people that might be either crass, squeemish or otherwise overly sensitive to the subject matter at hand, it is a valid topic worth discovering, and will likely be a good read for those curious about the wonders of pregnancy and delivery. #livestreamedchildbirth

    @Soldier_CLE: I just don't understand the mentality of wanting to broadcast it to everyone. Sure, child birth is one of life's miracles, but coming out of the vagina? Not so much.

    In my opinion, it's a very personal experience and should remain that way... I'm sure her child will be very proud. #livestreamedchildbirth

    @Shamoononon: I shave my legs.: I guess it depends on how you see it.

    Already, it is not uncommon to have one of the midwives videotaping the experience, and some have even allowed taping of the birthing process for instructional use.

    At the same time, I can understand why it would be a private matter, and if the mom wishes it to be, then that's also great.

    That said, I hardly see this as a pornographic experience, in that the majority of the public is less likely to find it erotic and the topic and premise is not obscene.

    To me, I figure this to be more educational than anything, and I've found similar footage in the past to come in handy when I had to do emergency deliveries a couple times in my life. NOTE: The weren't mine, it were part of my duties back then. #livestreamedchildbirth

    @Soldier_CLE says DON'T STOP AT THE STAR! REVOKE THE WHOLE DAMN THING, OWEN!!!: as for repelling underage people: there is one element of the equation, that will keep defying every rational consideration, and it's called HORMONES.

    We're bags of hide filled with mostly water, showing complicated behaviors just to amuse the universe, only in order to reproduce. #livestreamedchildbirth

    Because all the teens I know are all official members of the "moms like me" blog.

    @Fuzman: Not entirely what I mean. Fuzman.

    The truth is that some programs would use websites like this to teach "sex ed", from the "what if you are inseminated?" point of view.

    That's not to say that there aren't a few out there that would do the "2 guys 1 horse" reaction (as you used in your example), but the same can be said about instructionl videos on "breach birth". #livestreamedchildbirth

    @yogibimbi: True, very true.

    While I am cognizant of this, I also realize though that there is also the factor in this equation where the website can serve as a "Don't say I didn't warn you!/I told you so!" to minors, which multiplies the reality if a minor shows up to school pregnant.

    Looking back, it hit me when I were in Junior High and a girl looked like a beached whale from her pregnancy. It weren't but months before that that she were considered the hottest girl in the school. That right there blew my mind.

    -Just saying. #livestreamedchildbirth

    ...Alright.

    Also, when I was in High School, my health teacher brought in a video of a live birth. She has a weird sense of humor, and played the part where the baby emerges... then reversed it so it went back in... then out... then in... about six times, as half the class laughed like hell and the other half screamed. It was great. #livestreamedchildbirth

    Let's just hope they work out with the Dr's ahead of time. Nothing worse than watching idiots with cameras get in the way of the hospital staff who are trying to keep people healthy.
