When you’re in labour, you want your midwife to be calm, patient and relaxed.
What could be more calm, patient and relaxed than a dolphin?
Well, that’s what spiritual healer Dorina Rosin and her partner Maika Suneagle are hoping anyway.
The couple, who were seen tonight on new Channel 4 show Extraordinary Births, have decided to have a dolphin as a midwife for the birth of their first child, which Dorina is planning to have delivered in the ocean so that the baby can learn to speak ‘dolphin’.
Host Katie Piper told The Times: ‘I found the dolphin people a bit out-there but they seemed so happy and the woman was so relaxed.
‘I just thought everybody was wonderful and it was all a bit of an eye-opener.’
TV viewers seemed impressed rather than baffled with many declaring they’d be open to having a dolphin as a midwife too.
