This past weekend, another pregnant woman took a similarly public, if less artistic, approach to her birth. Nancy Salgueiro, 32, an Ottawa chiropractor, childbirth educator, and now mother of three, live-streamed her entire labor and home birth online. Thousands of viewers watched her eating a salad and typing Facebook updates in between contractions, during which she would often call to her husband for what looked like a slow dance. At around 3 a.m. EDT, Salgueiro stepped into her birth tub, closed her eyes, and moaned through a few contractions. Within minutes she was lifting a pink baby out of the water—the baby arrived before the midwives. She took a few minutes to catch her breath and check the baby’s sex (a boy), and was so composed she began educating viewers on why they were waiting to cut the umbilical cord. (Watch the first half of her labor here; she’ll post the second half sometime Monday.) The stream amassed a total of 27,000 views.
