The Australian mum-of-one has had “multiple people ask if I will be livestreaming my birth, filming it or selling photos. It’s been by far the most persistent request I’ve ever gotten in my career, I think because for so many of them, they may not have had the chance to witness birth.”
While she has consistently refused the “very generous offers” of thousands of dollars, the requests continue unabated. “I get asked a lot on my TikTok LIVE, and even when I decline – over and over – some people will sub to my site and ask me again there.”
She explains that while the idea is intriguing – and many other content creators have made five figures recording their own very personal experiences – “I am giving birth in a hospital, and it would be an administrative nightmare to get permission to livestream the birth, plus we are not allowed to sell content that is filmed in public or alongside non-creators.”
Even though Mai’s fans have (mostly) accepted the fact that they won’t be in the delivery room with her on that fateful day, she laughs that “I am now getting multiple requests a week… for fake labour videos!”
