Live vlogging labour/birth

[Dozyoldtwonk]

A step too far, non?

I'm the first to admit I love reading blogs & watching vlogs I know, I know but Mrs Meldrum, quite a well known parenting blogger/vlogger is doing exactly that - live streaming her labour and birth of DC3 on Facebook. I'm really intrigued and am tempted to give it a little watch but it feels so…intrusive? I feel uncomfortable watching something so personal (especially as she has been induced & they suspect issues with her baby) & I'm not sure how putting something like this out there is inspirational, aspirational or will help others. Blog about it or share an edited vlog on it, but broadcasting it live

I used to watch her but haven't followed her much since her husband quit his job. I like vlogs that show a semblance of life outside the house.
I did see one of her videos recently and aren't they worried about zika?

Yes. Silas was/is a worry but they haven't mentioned it since the baby was born

*zika

Don't understand it tbh and why people would want to watch it? It isn't useful to anyone as everyone is different.

I understand what your saying, I have watched Rebeca for a while and she's had a turbulent pregnancy and I have to say I was a little taken back by the vlogging the birth via channel mum if I'm honest. She must of been so stressed and worried about the baby and to then ad the pressure of having to be on social media through the course of the labour/delivery seems abit much to me anyway. I know it's her job but sometimes one needs to stop and have a bit of private family time especially when they know the baby may have problems. That being said they are lovely people and I'm not knocking them at all! Let's hope little poppy will be ok!!
