An American lady on vacation in Istanbul, Turkey, has narrated how she gave birth to her baby son in her hotel room by herself while getting tips from video streaming platform, YouTube, as well as making use of knives and shoelace.
Tia Freeman of Nashville, Tennessee, was in an Istanbul hotel bathtub during a layover in her travels from the U.S. to Germany in March, 2018 when she gave birth to Xavier Ata Freeman.
The 22-year-old shared her story in a Twitter thread on Tuesday and it has since gone viral.
Freeman, an analyst for the U.S. Air Force, did not know she was pregnant until she was in her third trimester, because her birth control caused her to not have a menstrual cycle.
She went into labour about two weeks ahead of her due date.
“I found out in mid-January and I had already purchased the tickets for everything by then, and I was like ‘Well, if he comes on time, I should be okay,’” Freeman told Newsweek.
Freeman’s contractions began on her flight to Turkey, but she first thought it was food poisoning.
By the time Freeman got to the airport, her symptoms had worsened and she started to seriously consider the possibility that she was in labour.
