'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

Jeez I thought I was watching the exorcist

Bet she eats Quinoa and Lentil Wraps

I wanted to have a home birth (even had the birthing pool set up!), but last minute I couldn't (was at a friends when I went into labour, hospital was closer than home). Had I not been in a hospital, my son would have died. The thing we must remember is, in cave-man times it may have been a nicer experience to give birth, but it also resulted in a lot more deaths. Take the science, take the help, take the support... for your babies sake.

Women used to give birth without midwives donkeys years ago.

Why would you want to see any of this.

Never heard of brain eating amoebas. I can not even count the problems or infection that I am sure followed.

All my births were c-section unfortunately (not my choice) i would of loved to experience natural labour in a hospital or a rainforest! Her choice, though not sure i would share it with the world but im glad there both well.

Good for you, stay there and when your baby is sick how will you treat it, feed it grass.

Graphic content?

no matter where you give birth - the procedure is always the same, so where is the point? Why does this woman feel the need to exhibit herself in such an intimate situation. She as a grown woman, is free to put herself in danger by not having anybody to assist her but did she ever think about putting her baby at risk? This "back-to-the -roots"-phenomenon is a trendy game nowadays but let something go wrong and those idiots are the first to sue anyone they can blame for their own stupidity. Filming the birth and posting it on youtube is doesn´t fit her taste for "all natural and ancient", does it?

Another attention seeker. Yawn...

So now there's blood, amniotic fluid and/or placenta in the stream because you birthed there and stood there as it cleaned you up, eh? Just when one thinks it safe to go into the water...

The health of either of them aside, that's her business and I could care less. The most disturbing part is anyone who may have drank the water downstream! You people are vile, disgusting creatures.

Hunched over naked sweating and heaving a baby out her business end....perfect for Youtube. Said nobody ever. Weirdo alert

Stupid & dangerous & for what ? We have evolved with advances in medical techniques and procedures at hospitals in case something goes wrong during child birth etc. Why would anyone want to go back to the Stone Age like this ?

"I'm not hippy drippy" Err, I think you probably are love!

I don't care where she had her child as it's her choice but the only thing that kept coming to my mind while reading is that a creek would be awfully cold for a newborn.

I really don't understand why people need to share everything. The two main occupations today is cell phone game playing and displaying everything to the entire world.

I watched the video on YouTube, and while I applaud her efforts to give birth in such conditions, it would have been far safer for her and her baby to have had a midwife in attendance. I was rather tickled by the other people playing in the river not taking a blind bit of notice of Her!

Im still amazed by the neckless lol why have it on????
