First-time mom plans to give birth live on the internet

theGV, I think you're got a point there. It can be compared with those "educational" videos they made you watch (as i don't live in USA, i didn't have to watch them).
But what i think is that now there isn't privacy anymore on the net. Anyone can post whatever they want, only to regret doing it later. I hope people -not only this woman- start thinking very carefully about what they decide to put on the internet. Sites like Facebook or MySpace can be very good at finding lost friends, but is it OK to have all the details of your life out there where everybody can see them? Is it OK to upload the video of the birth of your first child? Guess the answer depends on what thing everyone considers "OK".

I have 3 kids and I was in the room, holding a leg for all of them, Its no picnic and I don't need to see it again. Amazing what people will do for money and they're 15 minutes of fame. They will definitely regret it and so will the kid when he grows up. Some people are attention whores.

wow another publicity stunt, but this time from a pregnant woman, which seems odd enough. a bit ridiculous if you ask me, but i guess if she feels so strongly about it then it's gonna end up happening, and it is.

@holaschaus I don't live in the USA I live in Canada. I somehow doubt that they would even allow this in schools in the USA but that is a side issue. It is true that people do not think through what they are doing before they post it on the Internet. There is a lot of funny/interesting/questionable things that people post on MySpace and Facebook. Ultimately it does depend what you consider okay. In my case I have my Facebook profile set to private so only my friends can see it. You do what you feel comfortable doing.
