In an age where oversharing is the norm, one former reality star has taken it to a whole new level. Former contestant from America’s Next Top Model, Sarah Jenson, recently made headlines by live-streaming the birth of her second child on Facebook. Talk about putting it all out there!
Jenson, who’s no stranger to the camera, welcomed her son, Skylar James, while her husband, Jake Thompson, cheered her on. The couple already has a 4-year-old daughter, Lily. While some might cringe at the thought of broadcasting such a personal moment, Jenson seemed remarkably calm throughout the process.
Sure, there were some interesting visuals, like the moment her doctor casually remarked on the placenta, “It looks like a steak!” Yet, the video didn’t delve into overly graphic detail, so viewers were spared the more intense aspects of childbirth. Instead, Jenson kept her thoughts focused on post-delivery meals—“I can’t wait for some sushi or maybe a burger,” she mused, while laboring.
The atmosphere in the room was surprisingly relaxed, a far cry from the dramatic scenes often portrayed in films. When baby Skylar finally made his entrance after just a few pushes, there was a brief moment of tension as the medical team efficiently checked his vitals. “His cord was wrapped around his neck,” the doctor explained, but thanks to the swift action of the staff, the situation was quickly under control.
This live-streaming trend might help demystify childbirth for many, but one can’t help but wonder—can we get a heads-up about the placenta? Not everyone wants to see that over lunch!
