Twitch Streamer Fandy Live-Streams At-Home Waterbirth as Tens of Thousands Watch

She says the broadcast documented a home birth for her community, not a monetization play.

Overview

  • The eight-to-nine-hour stream, titled variations of "Water Broke, Baby Time," showed an at-home waterbirth with midwives, family and friends present.
  • Viewership figures reported by outlets ranged from roughly 29,000 peak concurrent viewers to over 50,000 total views.
  • Twitch CEO Dan Clancy posted a congratulatory message in the chat during the broadcast, signaling platform acknowledgment.
  • Afterward, Fandy defended the decision on social media, saying ads were kept low, no subscription goals were set and the intent was to share the experience.
  • She announced she deactivated her OnlyFans as coverage and commentary questioned Twitch policy boundaries and child privacy, with no enforcement action reported.
