Twitter Employee Live Tweets Birth of Daughter

Twitter employee Claire Diaz-Ortiz has to be the most dedicated worker in the world ever. Why? Because she live tweeted the birth of her daughter. From her first contraction to holding her baby girl in her arms, Claire tweeted every step of her labour to her followers. While some doubted the authenticity of the whole thing, it is apparently true (even the part where she and her husband broke down on the way to the hospital). We can’t include all of Claire’s tweets (you can see those here @Claire on Twitter) which is why we've picked a few so that you can get a general overview of what happened...

Currently googling: Did my water just break? #labor — Claire Diaz-Ortiz (@Claire) April 5, 2014

 

Contractions 5 minutes apart. My @twitter jacket on. Headed to hospital. #inlabor pic.twitter.com/ZYANny1ZsB — Claire Diaz-Ortiz (@Claire) April 5, 2014

 

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

 

Taxi found. Checked in at hospital. Screaming women abound. #inlabor — Claire Diaz-Ortiz (@Claire) April 5, 2014

 

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

 

Lesson: when you live-tweet your own labor, some will hate. Luckily, your husband will laugh in the corner. #inlabor — Claire Diaz-Ortiz (@Claire) April 5, 2014
