A woman has unexpectedly delivered her own baby while she was alone in a hotel room in Turkey. And she used how-to videos on YouTube to do it, proving that there’s nothing a woman (with wifi) can’t achieve.
Tia Freeman, 22, a member of the U.S. Air Force, from Nashville, Tennessee, told her story on Twitter:
Might as well tell you now lol. Give me a little time though because it’s sort of a long story ????????

In her third trimester, Freeman travelled to Germany. She had only discovered her pregnancy in January, according to BuzzFeed, but she had already booked her vacation.
“I was in shock,” Freeman told HuffPost. “I never saw myself as a mom before. I was more career-oriented. That’s probably why I was in denial after finding out.”
I didn’t know I was pregnant for awhile (already in my 3rd trimester) and before you ask the birth control I was on made it so I didn’t have a cycle every month. So not having a period wasn’t an indicator for me. On top of that I didnt really gain any weight.

On March 7, Freeman travelled to Istanbul, Turkey, on her way to Germany. After eating a meal on the plane, she began to feel ill (as many of us do), but didn’t think that was unusual. When she landed in Istanbul, she realised it could be more serious…like labour.
