A mother who live-tweeted and posted photos from her own home birth has opened up about why she thought it was important to share an honest account of the experience.
British-born blogger Ruth Iorio (née Fowler) who lives in Los Angeles, began labor on Christmas day and continued to post on Twitter about it over the next 12 hours, from the moment her contractions began to when she delivered her baby boy and was transferred to hospital for a blood transfusion.
She told the Huffington Post her aim was to open people's eyes to the 'unique experience' of home birth, 'whether attractive or not, and just be honest about it.' See more photos after the cut....
