'I am not hippy drippy': Woman who was desperate to give birth in the wild delivers her baby in a STREAM without a midwife - as footage of it is watched 52 million times

Meanwhile downriver, there is some one swimming and drinking that filth.

public indecency, illegal dumping and child endangerment

how disgusting, obviously making money off of the views with no concern for our waterways or her own dignity..Behaving like an animal...in fact humans are losing their morals and respect for themselves and their planet..atrocious .

Is she not thinking about her baby contracting Lymme disease or other life threatening bacterias that lurk around streams and river banks? Totally stupid and irresponsible.

Hey... no... do not pollute MY rivers anymore than they already are... narcissistic breeders! YUCK!!!

How hygienic.

Surely the water was far too cold for a newborn baby?

Prefered her looks when she had clothes on and wasn't giving birth all over the place. And "sharing an intimate moment" with your closest 52 million friends on the internet means it is no longer intimate. And as for posting a nude video as a "gift for her partner"... I rather prefer good old fashioned British eccentrics collecting matchboxes.

Two words...attention seeker!

She seems to have a mental issue.

What a lovely way to give birth but not lovely to film it and put it all over the internet. I would have thought it should have just been a natural birth, in a lovely setting with a loving partner. The look at me and I want to be famous attitude, is a no, no in my books. Some things should be kept private.

Shudder.....way too much

When my kids were born in the 80''s, even then, it was somewhat new for fathers to be present during the birth, in a hospital with medical staff all around etc. My in laws were quite surprised my husband attended both births. Now this is considered completely standard. I think though that the pendulum has swung too far as some women really don't maintain a sense of dignity and privacy about what is essentially a very personal experience. I would be mortified to have the world view a video like that. It's not about being a prude or anything but this may encourage others who really don't know what they are doing and people could imagine this is a safe way to give birth which it obviously isn't.

Thanks for polluting the stream.

Pretty sure I am not a fan of having flies land on my newborns head or any part of my anatomy thank you very much.

Apart from the grossness of polluting the stream, she better watch out for bacterial infections if any tearing occurs in birthing process.

Only a hipster would birth in a stream and contaminate the water.

How irresponsible, anything could of gone wrong and medical attention may have been needed. Selfish mother who only thought about herself and not the child and who would want to put their new born baby in a stream with loads of germs in it! I've seen it all now!

What an idiot. Why would anyone want to show such a private and vulnerable moment to the whole world

Let's hope not all women follow this, if I had I'd be dead and so would my baby. Most women need medical supervision.
