Giving birth is never easy - but for mum Audra Lynn it was a textbook delivery. The footage of her water birth in Orange County, California has stunned social media users because the baby seemingly pops out after only a few contractions. The clip, uploaded to Instagram and Facebook, has had more than 16 million views since it was posted on September 3. Midwife Lisa Marie Sanchez Oxenham filmed the birth and said it was "an incredible moment". "Its an amazing, uneventful delivery," Lisa Marie said. "What you cannot quite see in the video is that the head is already out. So I tell Audra to wait for the next contraction, and thats when the baby flies out. "The mothers joy is so moving. When she says my baby son, it makes many people cry. It is such an incredible moment." The footage has been shared more than 100,000 times on Facebook and attracted 23,000 comments, like these: Karena Sezawich writes: "She gave birth like a boss." Shene McCoy posts: "She was kinda calm, I hope I can be that tough." In another post Philip L. King Sr writes: "Wow Ive never seen it done in real life only in movies. Thats real life right there." Lisa Marie says shes not surprised the video has been so popular. "I believe the video has gone viral because its such a beautiful moment, in an intimate, private and relaxed atmosphere," she said. "That is something we just dont associate with childbirth anymore and certainly dont see enough of." By Rozina Sini, BBCs UGC and Social News Team
