'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

i would be more worried about weil's disease, i dislike going in to rivers and streams because off it !whatever floats your boat eh

Yes we did deliver like this for thousands of years, it's natural, but not many baby's survived around those times either! She was lucky that she hadn't had any complications, in which could of been devastating with no medical attention. Glad baby and mother are ok

Hang on till I get my specs. ... Nah, don't really help.

I agree w said below, what if something would have gone wrong? I have heard of others doing this, personally i need saddle block but good for them. the little girl is cute

No privacy these days,,, somethings should be for family alone, not to be posted on You Tube,,,,

watched this months ago and pregnant myself, don't really agree with putting herself at risk but nonetheless as a mother has the legal right to give birth where she chooses and video was beautiful and dignified

I always say to each his own .. BUT.. you have to draw a line somewhere.. even if I did want to do what she did .. the ONE major thing that would keep me from making such a terrifying decision is.. EMERGENCY.. I hope and pray she had lots of stand by's !! birth is a wonderful thing .. but not for YouTube!

I wont be going for a dip anywhere near that stream.

What on earth is wrong with this woman - and the others involved?! Absolutely crazy and unbelievably irresponsible, putting her baby's life (and maybe her own) at risk. Unbelievable!

looks a bit on the dirty side, good luck to the woman but isn't she worried about germs or infection?

Perouze???????

Yuck something i wont be watching on YouTube. Just as well nothing did go wromg !

Any woman who can give birth on her own terms should be supported. Naturally no lawyers will be involved.

Another non story

Wow shes done nothing more than what i did twice at home. Just without a midwife and on a load of pebbles!

That's all well and good, but where do you make the tea and toast?

It's illegal in Canada to give birth outside a hospital without a midwife.

Was she just lucky that nothing went wrong.

The position this lady took squatting on all fours is the most natural and correct and comfortable position for producing the baby easily and with the least discomfort.

I don't care if she's a Doctor herself, that's so idiotic! Good luck finding medical help in case of an emergency! DM just has a story where a woman almost bled to death after delivering her baby. Selfish idiot!
