When Elle Lindquist and her husband Dan discovered that they were expecting their second baby, they decided to mark the occasion in a very unusual way.
The YouTube vloggers, like so many others before them, created a number of videos, including their birth announcement and gender reveal.
However, when they shared a very raw video of their son's natural water birth{
It has racked up almost 3 million views since it was posted April 26, generating thousands of comments from intrigued viewers.
Watch the emotional footage for yourself below:
Comments have been mixed, ranging from disgusted to absolutely overwhelmed by the ‘miracle of life’.
One wrote: “I cried more than her and the baby - and the way her husband was cradling her while she was pushing? I lost it!”
Another added: "You've changed my perception of what birth is or what birth can be."
However, on a completely separate train of thought, one viewer commented: “This is 100% guaranteed to work as a birth control! WHY, YOUTUBE?!?!”
The mom of two boys, newborn baby Cohen and older son Ford, has since spoken to Cosmopolitan.com about her decision to share her birth experience with the world.
Explaining that she wanted to change perceptions, she said: “It wasn't this voyeuristic idea of watch this woman give birth, and it wasn't a narcissistic idea, like, ‘Look how fabulous I am that I can do it without drugs!’
“It was this is a natural thing that everyone is meant to do, and it can be quite normal.”
