A woman who was travelling alone from the United States to Germany was forced to deliver her baby all by herself in a hotel room after she went into labour during a stopover in Turkey. Her incredible story has now gone viral on social media, reports NDTV.
22-year-old Tia Freeman found out she was pregnant only in January - when she was already in her third trimester. She decided that it wasn’t going to stop her from going on the trip to Germany in March that she had already planned, because, as she says herself, international flights are expensive.
And so on March 7, Ms Freeman found herself on a flight to Germany to visit her friend Jakob. However, she went into labour during a stopover at Istanbul, Turkey.
Ms Freeman shared her incredible story of how she gave birth to a baby boy alone in a strange land—with some help from YouTube videos—in a Twitter thread that has now gone viral.
However, after eating salmon during her flight to Germany, Ms Freeman began to experience cramps.
She managed to make it to her hotel room, in spite of severe labour pains. There, with a little help from YouTube, she decided to deliver her baby herself.
Not only this, she also cut off the umbilical cord on her own after clipping it with sterilized shoe laces.
