It was a weekly video team meeting like any other that we’d had since September. That is, until my wife announced that she was having contractions.Sounds like a tagline for an epic sci-fi alien infestation movie, but it’s actually the description for the above video. A videographer “with the Occupy movement” managed to immortalize and publicize the first moments of his newborn’s life, after his wife gave birth in a regular old cab. It’s the ultimate in life-affirming voyeurism:Watch an NYFD paramedic snip off the little girl’s umbilical cord as her mother gently rubs her crying head, which is still covered in birth fluid. I’m not sure if I can even get snarky on this, especially seeing the look on the mom’s face as she says “Where’s the baby?” for the 10 seconds it took for said baby to be swathed in blankets and her stretcher to be loaded in the ambulance.Public births are a relatively common thing, at least going off the anecdotes my firefighter father has shared over the years. (I believe he’s had more than one of the kids he helped birth, in elevators and whatnot, named after him.) Still, it’s not every day that you see it for yourself, and definitely not through the crisp lens of a newer camera, sitting in the ambulance flying Code 3 to the hospital, as the new mom is already on her cell talking to someone important.It took minutes for Baby’s presence to be broadcast to friends, and days for it to be spread, permanently, online. Think of that: This child, at most, had mere minutes of pure anonymity, broken only by what was surely a near-slapstick situation between the mom, dad, and cab driver. From here on out, this Occupy Baby — as the YouTube screen name guarantees — will be filmed, processed, and broadcast. But that’s the world she lives in.
