    @CODiva: Oh, CO, if only the world were run by you.

    Six years ago today I pushed out my own rugrat. One of the ob/gyn residents, a darling young thing, asked me if I wanted a mirror to see "the crowning head." Vom! Ur, no thanks, just let me know when he has slid all the way out. That will signal the cocktail hour, thanks! #livestream

    Betty Draper had the right idea. Twilight. And not the movie.

    Says the commenter who had her kids sans drugs. And sans camera. No icky "Look, Ma! My cervix is the size of an English muffin!" shots for me.

    PS: Young ladies, that's how labor was described to me. Your cervix is the size of a Cheerio normally. It dilates to the size of an English muffin. Enjoy your breakfast... #livestream

    It disgusts me that this woman (or at least, presumably, the father) is of Norwegian descent. Please to be getting your icky lack of boundaries away. Enda en norsk fitte (på TV!)... akkurat det vi trenger. Dra meg baklengs inn i fuglekassa.

    @pureblarney: O.o

    I thought "fitte" had a stronger connotation (or at least it does in Swedish). #livestream

    @kappakappaspankme: It means "cunt," pretty much like in English. (If it seems wrong to call a formerly pregnant lady that, it's because there's really something wrong here.) #livestream

    @pureblarney: Thanks for the confirmation. I'm aware that most words have similar definitions in Scandinavian languages and wanted to ensure that when I am profusely swearing at a Norwegian, I'm doing so accordingly.

    Having just dropped a spore recently, I remain absolutely confused about one's burning desire to make childbirth a three ring circus replete with AV staff, every single family member within a 30 mile radius and the desire to make it available for public consumption. People have no sense of boundaries, do they? #livestream

    @kappakappaspankme: Let me just take a moment to agree with you wholeheartedly on that. Having gone through this experience twice, I am still gobsmacked by people who invite the whole frigging family in. What the hell must Thanksgiving with the in-laws be like after they've seen you pushing a baby from your fitte? Jeez... #livestream

    @kappakappaspankme: I did not want anyone around me, why you would want that big camera in your vagina is beyond me. I would have karate kicked it if anyone brought that thing near me at that time. Luckily my husband and I have a sense of boundaries. We didn't even take pictures, how old-school! #livestream

    @kappakappaspankme: I heartily concur. Whilst giving birth I kept my view up at the ceiling and on my hubs and doc, just like God intended. #livestream

    @QueenCeleste, @bboston88, @quickqueenof:

    During those lovely parenting classes, people asked the most daft questions. How many people are allowed in the delivery room? How many people can visit? Can my husband tape it?

    By the third question I got so annoyed that a loud "Good grief!" escaped along with a head shake and an eye roll. I wasn't very popular after that.

    Really - people don't bring the entire family out for an appendectomy or tonsillectomy. Why would they bring a box of tools to this - an actual medical procedure? I feel really sorry for the nurses in L & D. #livestream

    And I thought the photos of the "Bradley Method" made me feel uncomfortable.

    @bboston88: I was once invited to a home birth in San Francisco in 1979. The mother, also a Scandinavian, was 20 and photographs from the "birth-in" included an artsy shot of the afterbirth in a pot the father had thrown. I still can't get it out of my mind. #livestream

    @bboston88: Luckily I got to skip the films because it was hundreds of miles to the class, but the photos in the book were all hairy wonders and for some reason, the father wasn't wearing a shirt. #livestream

    I don't think she seemed freaked out. I thought it was relief and elation. And is it normal to give birth in near darkness? Is that better for the mother and the baby? #livestream

    @heywhat: For what it's worth, the only lights on in the delivery room when I delivered Milkface were those used specifically for the birth and neonate equipment. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be better but I preferred having low light (or low anything stimulating).
