For some people, dolphins can be the perfect midwives to assist their underwater delivery. Sounds unbelievable, right? But this is the choice of Dorina Rosin, a Hawaiian woman who plans to give birth in the ocean surrounded by dolphins.
She is one of the many mothers-to-be featured in Extraordinary Births, a British documentary airing Wednesday night on the U.K.’s Channel 4. Rosin and her husband are in charge of a spiritual healing center in Hawaii and believe that the presence of dolphins will make giving birth a better experience, reports the Metro.
However Hardy Jones, who is the executive director of ocean conservation group Blue Voice, warned that such a decision could prove very dangerous for everyone involved. “You have tiger sharks, hammerhead sharks. They do [also] have white sharks in Hawaii,” he told the Huffington Post.
“If a woman is going to be giving birth, she’s going to be extruding a certain amount of blood. Sharks are attracted by blood. … It’s dangerous for the mother, for her attendants, for the infant, and it’s also dangerous for the dolphins,” he added.
