A social media user has ignited a lively debate after streaming a live birth on TikTok, humorously dubbing himself an “uncle” for witnessing the emotional event.
In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), the user recounted how he had tuned in to watch the live birth just a few hours earlier.
He noted that he felt a strong emotional connection to the experience, stating that he and over 21,000 viewers now consider themselves aunts and uncles to the newborn.
He wrote: “So I was on TikTok last night watching some lady give birth 😅. I was here pushing with her and even cried with her. We are all that baby’s aunties and uncles now—all 21k of us who were on that live.”
The post quickly gained traction, drawing a wave of reactions from concerned social media users who expressed their thoughts regarding this unprecedented live stream.
