"On Tuesday, Twitch streamer Fandy took a break from streaming games like World of Warcraft, Overwatch, and League of Legends, to broadcast herself giving birth. The eight-hour-long stream captured the livestreamer going into labor and eventually giving birth to her child inside a small inflatable pool in a living room, as thousands of viewers tuned in, including Twitch CEO Dan Clancy."
"Some users questioned whether Fandy's livestream went against Twitch's community guidelines, but Clancy's comment during the livestream suggest she has the platform's seal of approval. "Fandy. Best of luck and congratulations," Clancy wrote. "Wishing you the best in this journey." After seeing the baby for the first time, Fandy's husband, who goes by Adamax, turned to viewers and commented on its size, "That's a plus one baby, boys!""
Fandy livestreamed her labor and delivery on Twitch, broadcasting an eight-hour home birth in a small inflatable pool set up in a living room. She announced her water breaking on X before beginning the stream. The broadcast drew thousands of viewers and has surpassed 50,000 views, with Twitch CEO Dan Clancy among those who watched and left congratulatory remarks. While live-streamed births have occurred before, this event was notable because a creator with a large following promoted the entire childbirth as content. Some viewers raised questions about compliance with Twitch community guidelines. Fandy's husband reacted on camera, celebrating the newborn's size.
