How quickly after the birth would you share the good news?
Hello.
We've just read that, according to a survey, conducted for Start-Rite shoes, 1 in 10 new mothers share the news that their baby's been born on Facebook and other social media within 15 minutes of having a baby – and one in 5 new mums do so within 30 minutes.
What's more, nearly two-thirds of new mums say they or their partner provided a stream of baby-related social-media commentary or updates ahead of the birth or during labour.
Are you surprised by this? Or not?
Did you – or do you intend to – post about your baby's birth on Facebook? If so, how quickly after the birth?
And, gulp, would you let your partner live-Tweet your labour?
Please do let us know!

I think it's horrible surely you shouldn't reach for your mobile phone only minutes after bringing new life into the world. Ugh!
Ha ha, Tetherdown. I'm guessing you're not really down with the Facebook generation then? [cheeky face]
