'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

"Mother of four filmed the whole process" - how?

Oh, she posted it online for her partner. Why not give him in the privacy of their shack? This is a big f u to millions of women who die in childbirth because they have no hospital or professional care. And what would he have felt like if god forbid the baby had needed emergency care and died or suffered permanent damage from it. Its sad that people are so desperate for their 1000th view! or 1 million views. Sad sad sad

Lucky both didn't get flesh eating bacteria.

She was lucky to get away with it, if there had been complications both she and the child could have died. It's irresponsible in this day and age when there are so many medical facilities available to save the lives of mothers and babies.

I pulled a few involuntary faces watching this! But really this experience must have been amazing!

Some people will do anything for money. She sold this non-story and DM paid her.

Go away ... we get it - you are an earth mother. It does not make you better or worse than any other mother who chooses to give birth in hospital

Rivers used to be cleaner back then, I'd be worried about bacteria from human waste

Luckily for her it worked out well but if I would have done that my son and I would have died as I suffered eclamptic seizures in labour. Up until then it was a 'perfect pregnancy' and I didn't suffer with pre-eclampsia. Luckily I survived thanks to an amazing medical team but my poor husband has been left with mild PTSD as he thought I had died. I wouldn't recommend anyone having a home birth.

Thankfully all worked out but seriously, why????

not really an amazing feat, childbirth has been going on since the beginning of mankind, and long before there were hospitals

In a stream !!!!!! She was on a mat by the side of it...what on earth was she doing. We have evolved in time and history where we can give the birth a great chance and she decides to do this. What an idiot.

Primitive

I hope nobody drinks from that stream

Coming to the river Thames near you...

Oh jesus f m d

Yeah, thanks for that then!

This is old....unless she's repeated what someone else did.

Poor fish, they have to live in that water!

Each to her own,,I cant think of any thing worse for me .Glad it turned out well for her and her beautiful child ..
