Nothing like endangering your newborn for the sake of social media. But, nothing unusual these days in our narcissistic society eager for viral likes, subs, and fame.

This proud new mom is making a splash online — and in the water — after filming herself delivering her baby in the waves of the Pacific Ocean.

Josy Peukert posted her original Instagram video back in February, but it’s just now blowing up to the tune of 200,000-plus viral views thanks to social media word of mouth spreading.
A mom went viral after giving birth in the ocean. As a labor and delivery nurse, I'd never recommend doing this.

Human beings are going to do novel things to get attention and "be unique and individual" ... more of the same here. Before modern times this actually would have been a good idea... the salt helps keep things sterile... before our oceans were contaminated with micro-plastics and human waste from silly stuff like wearing masks.

I don’t thinks she has ever been to the us much less voted. She is German living in Nicaragua.
What would make you think she is political in any way, especially in us politics?

She's from Germany so I doubt you can categorize her into the usual us or them categories, how about we just say she's nuts regardless of her potential political leanings...

Why?
Because to this poster everything is about politics. Even international births in the ocean.

Anyone who supports late term abortion would be a hypocrite to oppose this, even if there were heavy water currents. Technically, at the time the decision was made, the baby was not yet born.

Birthing in water has been done for at least a century. This is nothing new.

In the U.S., the first time a fuss was made over it dates back to 1980:

There are no new reasons to either laud it or scorn it.

There's some evidence that water births are considered a fairly healthy way to do it. I'm not sure I'd want it to happen in cold ocean water though; maybe in the Caribbean? During the medieval era they used birthing stools, and that's also starting to make a comeback.
