Live-Tweeted Birth: Woman Posts 12-Hour Monologue During Labor

In true 21st century fashion, an Argentine woman live-tweeted her birth over the weekend for all of her 333,000 followers. It turned out to be a 12-hour, stream-of-consciousness monologue.

Claire Diaz-Ortiz, who also happens to be a Twitter employee, took to the social networking site Saturday when her water broke. From there, the Buenos Aires resident treated everyone to a stream-of-consciousness-style live tweeting session that included her musings about chocolate, what celebrity her doctor resembles, and planting a tree with the placenta.

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

Car overheating?! Stopping at gas station. #inlabor

Filled tank with water. Back on highway. #inlabor

Car overheating again. Another gas station. Woe is me. #inlabor

Mechanic says car fine. Gives me thumbs up. Tells us to get to hospital. #inlabor

Car now broken down. On side of road. Need taxi. #inlabor
— Claire Diaz-Ortiz (@Claire) April 5, 2014

Can't find taxi. Is this a joke?!? #inlabor
— Claire Diaz-Ortiz (@Claire) April 5, 2014

Taxi found. Checked in at hospital. Screaming women abound. #inlabor

Where are my ice chips? #inlabor

When you give birth several weeks early, you forget hospital essentials. Like @usweekly. And chocolate. #inlabor
— Claire Diaz-Ortiz (@Claire) April 5, 2014

Please stop asking what we are planning to name the baby. We don't know. And it's getting awkward. #inlabor
— Claire Diaz-Ortiz (@Claire) April 5, 2014

Yes, I'm the girl in the ward playing @daveramsey podcasts as I puff away. #inlabor
— Claire Diaz-Ortiz (@Claire) April 5, 2014

This is how I feel: BLERGH!!!!! #inlabor
— Claire Diaz-Ortiz (@Claire) April 5, 2014

To reiterate my labor pains: BLERGH!!!! #inlabor
— Claire Diaz-Ortiz (@Claire) April 5, 2014

I got married in an April thunderstorm. I am having a baby in an April thunderstorm. Different Aprils. #inlabor

Husband confused by what happens next. Aren't we all? #inlabor pic.twitter.com/mvQlK0m76H

Have we talked yet about how my OB is a dead ringer for @Bethenny? #inlabor
— Claire Diaz-Ortiz (@Claire) April 5, 2014

Husband upset he forgot his absurd ukelele to welcome child. In our broken car on side of highway? Prolly. #inlabor
— Claire Diaz-Ortiz (@Claire) April 5, 2014

Can we take the placenta? Want to plant tree.(Husband wants no part in this; still focused on lost ukelele).#inlabor
— Claire Diaz-Ortiz (@Claire) April 5, 2014

Abandoning placenta + tree = love plan in face of pain. Also, the wifi here sucks. #inlabor

They say that babies born in storms bring with them the luck of the Argentines. She's a lucky one, then;) #inlabor

Lesson: when you live-tweet your own labor, some will hate. Luckily, your husband will laugh in the corner. #inlabor

Baby girl born! Now, to bond. (Read: See 'ya in a bit, @twitter). #inlabor
