Child birth to be broadcast live

Published on October 27, 2009 at 9:05 AM · No Comments

MomsLikeMe.com, a leading local-moms site, announces that an entire pregnancy is being captured on TwinCities.MomsLikeMe.com. A locally driven online social network for moms, MomsLikeMe.com, is thrilled that Lynsee and Anders will share the experience of having their first child -- including the baby's birth in November -- with the community.

MomsLikeMe.com offers moms a comfortable online destination to connect and exchange information, stories and advice with other moms who live in their own community. After learning she was pregnant, Lynsee, a 23-year-old first-time mother, joined her local Twin Cities MomsLikeMe.com site to get tips and advice from other local moms. Shortly after becoming a member, Lynsee and her 24-year-old husband Anders made the decision to document each step of their pregnancy, including the birth, through the MomsLikeMe.com group "Watch Lynsee Grow!"> "We wanted to document the pregnancy and create a one-of-a kind memento for our baby to have forever," said Lynsee. "MomsLikeMe.com has been a source of support for me during my pregnancy and I wanted to give back to the community, hoping my experience would help other first-time moms out there."

Lynsee and Anders also decided to broadcast the birth of their child to share this life-changing experience with other first-time parents and answer any questions they might have. In two nationwide polls this month, MomsLikeMe.com asked their members for their thoughts on the couple's decision. The results showed that while 60 percent of moms do not want anyone besides their significant other in the delivery room, the same percentage would be interested in watching a broadcast of a live birth.
