- Freeman watched YouTube videos in a Twitter thread that helped her give birth on her own.
Freeman had planned that she would travel to Germany in March before she discovered in January that she was already pregnant and in her third trimester. She did not want to cancel her expensive international flights.On March 7, Freeman boarded a flight to Germany to visit her friend Jakob but ended up giving birth to a baby boy in Turkey.
According to reports in NDTV, Freeman had salmon during her flight to Germany and later began to experience cramps. As she was all alone in her hotel room, she decided to take help of 'doctor YouTube' and successfully delivered her baby.
So the internet said I shouldn’t start pushing until my contractions where 2mins apart. Bc you don’t want to exhaust yourself too early and then not have any energy when the kids ready to come, you know? And I’m like okay bitch you’ve got a timer on your phone. You can do this!
My contractions were already at a minute a part lol I was late as hell. I BARELY made it to my room.
so I throw the towel in my mouth and start pushing. And I have NEVVVVEEERRRR felt any pain like this in my life. I felt like I was being split open. WHERE WAS MY EPIDURAL?! 
Luckily it happened pretty quickly. I only had to push about 5-6x before a baby popped out. Lol now let me tell you babies are buoyant. That little joker said bloop and floated right on up to the top of the water
Freeman watched YouTube videos in a Twitter thread that helped her give birth on her own. The young mother said that she even cleaned up the bathroom on her own before feeding her baby and going to sleep. The next day, Freeman headed to the airport to find out how she can leave the country with her newborn baby boy.
Freeman was taken to the US Embassy in Istanbul, where she applied for a birth certificate and passport for her son, whom she named Xavier Ata Freeman. She was then taken to the hospital, and flew back to the US with her son two weeks later.
Almost immediately as I sit down it plops out. The hotel had these sanitation baggies in the bathroom so I just picked it up by the cord and dropped it in the bag. Now it’s still attached to him so now I’ve got to google how to cut an umbilical cord.
So I didn’t have any clamps like it suggested but what I did have were shoelaces lol. Hear me out
. In Turkey everyone drinks tea/coffee so every hotel room had an electric kettle. So I just boiled some water to sterilize the laces so that I could use them as clamps. 
I didn’t know what I would need to leave the country with a newborn baby and I thought no better place to ask than the airport.
When I get there the airport workers are freaking out bc you can tell this baby is fresh. I legit didn’t have any baby clothes & made him something out of my favorite blue oversized button down (RIP
). Anyway they thought I was a human trafficker trying to smuggle out a baby. 
On Wednesday, Freeman's friend shared her incredible story on Twitter which has now gone viral and her courageous delivery in a foreign land was praised online. "I learned how to be resourceful and calm under pressure. I was able to bond one on one with my son from his first breaths," Freeman was quoted as saying in Independent.
