A mother in the US has sparked a debate after she shared a video on TikTok that explained why she let her 7 year old daughter watch her give birth.

Influencer Ash Cunningham allowed her seven-year-old daughter Sophia to watch her give birth, and then shared her reactions.

At the end of the video, the influencer said: "We definitely did not expect to get as many views as it got. We are blown away. Everybody's been super kind. Almost everybody's been supportive.

"We've had just a couple of negative comments, but you get that with anything. But it's been super fun reading through the comments and what people have to say about it."
