US woman Ruth Iorio live tweets and Instagrams as she goes into labour and give birth to son Nye She posted this image to Instagram after being transfered to hospital, writing "Hello world. F***, that hurt. Totally natural birth, all doped up now!. Iorio, a British-born blogger who has published a memoir about her time as a New York stripper, says she wanted to show her "unique experience, whether attractive or not and just to be honest about it," reports The Guardian. She also wanted to point about how women are pushed to give birth in a hospital instead of at home, or often forced to choose between one or the other. "I know homebirth isn't for everyone, but we need to question what's happening," said Iorio. The US is basically trying to get rid of midwives. When contractions began, Iorio was doing housework. Over her 12-hour labour, she posted frequent updates to Twitter and Instagram as she walked around the house, struggled with the pain and diarrhea, and even took an hour-long bath with a whiskey sour as she waited for "the beast" to be born. Iorio was watched over by her husband Jared and midwife Racha Lawler during her labour at home. However, she was eventually transferred to hospital due to medical complications, where she gave birth to son Nye and was given a blood transfusion.
