[VIDEO] Woman Gives Birth On Boat During Flood And Names Daughter 'Siti Nur Banjiriah'

TRIBUNnews reported that on Wednesday, 20 January, a woman named Ernawati went into labour while her house in South Kalimantan was struck by a flood.

The midwives then assisted the birth on the spot. One of them told TRIBUNnews that Ernawati was already 4cm dilated when they got on the boat.

"When we arrived, Ernawati was already dilating and was ready to give birth," she said.

The baby girl was born in perfect condition and weighed 3.3kg.

Meanwhile, the mother told iNews, "Actually, it is not encouraged to give birth on a boat but I didn't have a choice because the place was flooded."

A video of the birth has been making its rounds on social media.

In the clip, you can see the midwife holding the child while a man behind the camera says, "Praise to god, Siti Nur Banjiriah has been born."
