A social media user has stirred up significant conversation after sharing a TikTok Live video of a woman giving birth, humorously calling himself an “uncle” for being a witness to the moment.

The user, who was one of over 21,000 people watching, posted about the experience on X (formerly Twitter), describing how emotionally involved he felt during the live birth.

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.”
