Coming soon: Internet birth

A Minneapolis woman is planning to give birth live on the Internet.

“Lynsee” has been documenting her pregnancy on the MomsLikeMe.com Web site, a partner site of KARE 11.

As described in the Boston Globe:

“We wanted to document the pregnancy and create a one-of-a-kind memento for our baby to have forever,” Lynsee told the website’s partner KARE-TV 11, which is also following her pregnancy (she requested that I not publish her last name, for privacy reasons). “You’ll be at some of the doctor’s appointments… You’ll be there in the delivery room, tastefully, but you will be there.”

One question. Why?

“Cindy Chapman (the site manager for MomsLikeMe.com) put up a post on the site asking if anyone was pregnant,” she told the Globe. “I emailed her right away and she filled me in on the project, I talked with my husband and we were excited about it!”

This one’s for couples who have kids. Would you broadcast it over the Internet?
