A question: has anyone liveblogged their experience of labor and delivery? Obviously at some point you'd have to stop. But surely someone's given it a good shot? We have such a hunger for the gory birth-story, you'd think that it would have happened.
If not, someone totally should.
i'll do it. i will find out if there is wireless in the sf birthing center.

Back in the dark ages, before blogs, I live message boarded the birth of my third child. The PA who examined the baby still says every time she sees me at the pediatrician's office: you were the one with the laptop, even when I don't see her for years.
(I also tended message boards, pulled posts and dealt with a flame war while in labor)

I believe Asia Carrera did something like that this summer during the birth of her son.

I'm gonna opt out of this one. (I am not a liveblogging fan in general anyway.)

Hahahahahahaha. Oh my fucking god. That would have been so impossible for my hit-by-a-truck deliveries! Right afterwards, sure. But during? No way--it was a big deal for me to unclench my hands and teeth.

If you find out the answer, let me know! I'd be interested in reading that.

I totally could have done it up until transition. I had a sort of tra-la-labor!

Now I remember where I saw that bit about Asia.
You wrote about it in the Other blog.
