Woman dances to ‘Tootsie Roll’ during labor
The video, taken on Tuesday at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, shows Yuki Nishizawa doing the butterfly, side shuffle and the “Tootsie Roll” as her husband and hospital staff laugh in encouragement.
Dancing mom Nishizawa poses with her newborn son Coji in Boston on Thursday.
He originally posted the video clip on his Facebook page.
The moment, which has now gone viral, was entirely real, Cloyd told ABC News, and it worked.
“It’s all authentic. She said put on some music”.
But what about getting down to the 69 Boyz classic “Tootsee Roll”?
Cloyd said his wife was at about 7 centimeters when she started doing the dance. “Ironically, the dance of choice was the “Tootsee Roll” and our daughter was born the next day”. Yuki and her husband, Connell Cloyd, were preparing to welcome their baby, when Yuki decided that she wanted to get up and dance. Have an interesting story to share about your family?
“For mothers out there, just be encouraged”, he said.
