Remember The Guy Who Live-Streamed His Wife's Birth on Facebook? It Was An Accident

Oh dear... when news broke that a couple had live-streamed their child's birth to Facebook, most reactions were along the lins of:

"Why?"

"We don't want to see that"

"Shouldn't that be private?"

Etc etc...

Turns out the Californian father Kali Kanongata'a, didn't realise that the whole world could see it.

The poor couple have now had 120,000 people view their child's birth.

So, the oversharing part wasn’t actually intentional and that new Mum Sara didn’t even know the birth was being broadcast.

Kanongata'a, 36, told People that he only realised the video was being shared with the world when his cousin from Tonga commented "Keep pushing" and he then saw the viewer count.

"I thought it was just going to my family and friends!"

"I wanted our baby to remember it,” Kanongata'a, also known as Fakamalo Kihe Eiki, told CBC News. “It's something for him to remember when he grows up.

Kanongata'a told People that he and his partner see it as a positive.

"I know some people are mad that it's not private, but I'm from the island [of Tonga], and years ago, we would have water births in public. I wasn't too worried about hiding anything because our culture has done this for thousands of years."

Congratulations to the new parents!
