'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

What a fantastic video. Shows the true nature of child birth. But she is lucky. Last time I went wading in a Daintree stream, I came out covered in leeches. Now just imagine one of those on your privates! LOL Too awful to imagine.

Trained doula and birthing therapist? Enough said!

Gross. What a clown.

Bonkers American.

Placenta smoothie?!?! Ugh, I just threw up.

Just plain weird.

You win. Congratulations on inventing childbirth.

How about the bacteria and microbes in that water? Not worth the risk. She could have developed a life ending infection.

Naked but made sure to remember her jewelry.

Err no, you are "hippy drippy"... whatever that means. You put yourself and more importantly your baby at risk for no reason other than your own selfish desire to give birth there. Get over yourself.

She is clearly demented, but also lucky to give birth with no complications.

I wonder what this fool would have done had there been complications. She would have begged for medical help, I bet.

And not a moment's thought spared for the poor fish; blooming selfish egotist!

Born into cold water, poor baby

So inappropriate to share in public.

Oh you have all kinds of scary bacteria in open water.

She says she's not hippy drippy but she ~IS ~ hippy drippy.

I'd be worried I got an infection from the dirty water and I also wouldn't like flies hovering about my bits like she had.

Oh god. Home births yes. Out door tree hugging births no. They always think they're the first women in the world to have been pregnant and given birth. I don't see what was possibly gained from this other than to noisy it on YouTube for attention. And then she had a placenta smoothie Bork!

'She' wanted to have e a baby in the wild. It's all about her and her experience and not about the health or safety of the baby. In child birth things can go wrong fast. It happened to me and as much as I love the outdoors I was laboring down the hall from a fully equipment modern operating room. My son would have been born dead if I wanted to make the birth experience all about me.
