THE EXPERIENCE OF being a parent has changed immensely in just one generation, thanks in no small part to the rise of smartphones and social media.

From ultrasound scans to Debs photos, you can now document every second of your child’s life and post it online for the world to see… if you wish.

As you may have heard, model Chrissy Teigen took to Instagram this week with a very sweet video to announce her second pregnancy.

The video, which features Chrissy’s first daughter Luna shouting “BABY!” as she points at her mum’s tummy, has already racked up 3.7m views and over 22,000 comments.

Now’s your chance to have your say. Are you happy to share images of your babies, strops and all, or would you prefer to keep your family life – and pregnancy news – offline?
