Woman does the 'Tootsee Roll' while in labor
A mother to be did the 'Tootsee Roll' dance to help ease her labor pains.

An expecting mom found a groovy way to deal with her labor pains by doing the "Tootsie Roll" dance.

Yuki Nishizawa had gone into labor with her second child when she started doing the dance to cope with her labor pains at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.

Nishizawa had used a similar dance technique when she delivered the couple's first child, so her husband Connell Cloyd was prepeared to film as Nishizawa shaked her stuff.

"I know I shouldn't be laughing as a husband, but she said she wanted to be famous, so I guess this is how you do it. Doing the 'Tootsie Roll' when you're in labor," Cloyd said.

Cloyd posted the video to Facebook on August 18, where it's been viewed over 6 million times. The husband shared another video to Facebook of Nishizawa doing the "Cupid Shuffle."

"My water is breaking!" Nishizawa exclaims in the second video.
