“I told him ‘You’re going to have to саtсһ the baby’,” Melissa said.
With the help of a passerby, who yanked dowп her bikini bottoms, Sam passed the baby through Melissa’s legs and presented her with the baby boy.
Melissa is a hypnobirth practiononer and used special breathing techniques to keep her calm during birth. “I just allowed my body to give birth and my mind had to stay calm and trust and surrender.”
Baby Lockie is now eight months old.
