Twittering During Birth

Erykah Badu gave birth to a baby girl over the weekend — and twittered about it. If you use Twitter, search for username "fatbellybella."

Universal Motown Records Group, the singer's record label, says the baby was born Sunday and both mother and daughter "are doing fine." The father is Badu's boyfriend, rapper Jay Electronica.

Badu said she had a home birth that lasted about five hours and that she didn't use painkillers.
