Tweeting can be laborious. Literally

It's almost hard to imagine that one can transmit too much information in only 140 characters but this feat was achieved when the wife of Twitter CEO Evan Williams somehow managed to tweet through labor.

Dubbed 'the first Twitter baby' by the L.A. Times, Sara Williams managed to keep her tweets rolling through her experience before giving birth to the couple's son.

The new mom started posting on the micro-blogging site as her water broke, reportedly joking it was nothing like Charlotte's experience on Sex and the City.

Media sources reveal that the tech-savvy lady tweeted that she was timing her contractions via an iPhone app, an event that became less 'fun' as she began to feel discomfort. She wrote, 'epidural, yes please,' opting out of any kind of natural birth.

Her last message before the baby was born mused over the fact that there was soon to be a new person in the room, and there were no further tweets until updates from dad the next day.

Luckily, Twitter users cannot yet send video embedded in their short, sweet messages.
