This is an intense video of a woman giving birth while her husband wears a video camera. It's found on Youtube with the title of the post, also on the Huffington Post. The husband is driving to the hospital and she is screaming and telling him she can't make it that long. She gives birth in front of the hospital and the husband has to catch the baby. It is censored when the baby is actually born. This is pretty gripping. maybe someone can add the video here. i don't know how to do it.

Call me crazy - but why was he filming this?

[chessylady]

I don't know his motives but people have been filming the birth of their babies for decades.

I should have said why was this made public...

[Moonlady]

Apparently, a lot of people feel the need to film every aspect of their lives these days. I don't get it, either.

LOL whoopi said that with the time it took him to get his camera and start filming they could have at least been INSIDE the hospital instead of out on the street!

It seems like a lot of people are using cameras for just about everything every day. It also seems as if it's become a social sharing expectation. Probably social media sites have been a huge influence to capture life in process.

The downside is living in the moment takes second place to the capture of it.

Lame.

They would've had to admit my husband, too, cause I'd have beat him senseless! I wanted to slap that guy. He took a good minute pulling junk out of the backseat instead of getting her in a wheelchair. And like Whoopi said -- forget the camera and have the baby in the hospital.
