ISTANBUL — An American woman soloed child birth last month in a Turkish hotel room using a bathtub, YouTube videos and a whole lot more.<br /><br />U.S. Air Force analyst Tia Freeman told the world about her amazing story on her Twitter account this week. The the 22-year-old said she was traveling to Germany via Istanbul, Turkey when she began having stomach pain due to what she believed to be food poisoning, reported Newsweek. <br /><br />Freeman was very pregnant at the time and only found about that mid-January, but the Germany trip was booked beforehand. The Nashville woman powered through her flight until she arrived at Istanbul airport where she was greeted with a massively busy customs area.<br /><br />Somehow she made it to her hotel while she was in labor. And not knowing the emergency number or local lingo, she searched YouTube for how to deliver a baby. <br />Freeman decided for a water birth. So she filled the tub with warm water, got into position, bit into a towel and started to PUSH!<br /><br />Freeman named her son Xavier Ata Freeman. Now back in the U.S., Freeman told BuzzFeed that she and Xavier are doing great and he's being spoiled by her family.
