- Title Expectant Mother Captured Her Traumatic Birth To Help Raise Awareness For Others
- Summary A mum-to-be was recorded by her mother during a traumatic labour and decided to share it online to show other mothers they're not alone, in a viral TikTok that amassed 15.3 million views. On February 10, Gianna Alexa Menken was captured by her mum as she moaned in pain after being rushed to the hospital from a helicopter for a premature birth in Manhasset, Long Island. Nurses can be seen trying to keep Gianna calm and asking her to take deep breaths to help her relax. Eventually, Gianna got whisked away by hospital staff as she began to give birth. Gianna said: “I was scared and in utter shock because I was giving birth prematurely and there was so much going on all at once. “I’m glad it went viral because other women know they aren’t alone and I’ve even personally talked to some people who have reached out due to seeing my story.”
