Tomorrow, you can watch the miracle of life unfold on Twitter.
Women’s Memorial Hermann Hospital at Memorial City Medical Center in Houston Texas will be the first hospital to live-tweet a surgical birth.
“This is a medically indicated c-section. 39-year-old mom had an urgent c-section before & chose not to VBAC. Our goal is to educate,” says Memorial Hermann. “Patient privacy is of utmost importance. Patient & family have consented & we’ll only disclose age & condition.”
You’ll be able to follow multiple stages of the process: admission testing, anesthesia and delivery of the baby. It won’t be for the faint of heart, as Memorial Hermann promises live, close-up photography and video alongside the play-by-play-tweets.
Tomorrow: The first baby born on Twitter. Follow live photo & video clips of a C-section Wed. @ 7am CST. #MHbaby bit.ly/c-section

@lulizzylu You’ll see real pics/videos of surgery. We’ll explain that C-section is associated with risks & should only be done if necessary.

This is the same hospital that live-tweeted a brain surgery last May.
You can follow all of the action on the @houstonhospital account and the special #MHbaby as well. Everything kicks off Wednesday morning at 7am CST.
