... And so it begins! We were expecting this #instabirthstory to be a fast one based on this mama's history with her 2 boys but we'll see!
POPSUGAR: How'd your first #InstaBirthStory come about?
Cate DePrisco: It started by accident in the middle of a shoot. This couple was doing a home birth. I asked if I live documented the birth on Instagram, and they said, "That's totally fine but don't mention our names or show our faces or tag us." They weren't telling some family members they were in labor yet and didn't want others to know they were doing a home birth. So, I kept it minimal but days went by and they finally had to go to the hospital. I still held off, but eventually they said to go ahead and post — it kept family from asking them about the progress. I started receiving messages asking if everything was OK, and I loved being able to be that middle man, to be able to answer questions on behalf of the parents and keep everyone updated.
