Woman uses dance instead of drugs to fight labor pains — VIDEO

Believe it or not, births without the use of drugs are a real thing. During Yuki Nishitzawa's unmedicated birth, she used an unconventional way to handle the pain. 

While giving birth in her room at the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts Nishitzawa can be seen dancing to the 69 Boyz' 90's dance classic "Tootsee Roll."

It worked, apparently, as she gave gave birth at 1:30 a.m. Tuesday, to healthy baby boy Coji, weighing 6 lbs., 15 oz.

The scene was filmed and uploaded to Facebook by her husband, Connell Cloyd for all to enjoy. Check out the full videos below.
