Claire Diaz-Ortiz chose a different approach when she went into labor yesterday. She chose to tweet her 14-hour labour live! Friends, family and the 332,000 other people that follow the long-time Twitter employee on the social media site were all-to-aware of each step of her dramatic delivery this weekend, because she posted about the process live for the world to see.
It started with questioning whether her water had broken about 4.30am on Saturday and finished with the arrival of her daughter.
Currently googling: Did my water just break? #labor

Moved on. Now officially googling "Am I in Labor?!?"

When you go into labor weeks early, you don't remember to pack a baby bag. #inlabor

Speed bumps on road and contractions don't mix. #inlabor

Please stop asking what we are planning to name the baby. We don't know. And it's getting awkward. #inlabor

Have we talked yet about how my OB is a dead ringer for @Bethenny? #inlabor

Husband upset he forgot his absurd ukelele to welcome child. In our broken car on side of highway? Prolly. #inlabor
