Meet Melissa Quiles, a 26-year-old journalism major from El Paso, Texas, and her now 1-year-old daughter, Marceline.
Quiles told BuzzFeed News that she was uncomfortable and had five days left to go before her due date, so she had tried several different things to get the birth started naturally. And it finally did after she saw this Tumblr post.
Quiles said: "I had tried everything to get my water to break naturally, including eating a ton of spicy foods and working out. I was literally on the elliptical for an hour and nothing happened.
"So when I got home, I was craving spicy Asian meatballs, a recipe I found on Pinterest, so I made dinner for my husband and I. By then, a typical night in for us would be Netflix and video games.
"I was scrolling through Tumblr and I saw the post and I just remember laughing, but the gif of the video game glitch is what had me cracking up.
"I don't think my husband thought anything of it because I usually laugh at whatever I'm looking at on tumblr, but to his recollection, I abruptly stopped laughing and turned to him and said, 'I think my water just broke'."
She said: "We got the overnight bags, went to the hospital and the nurses checked me in and told me that my water did, in fact, break."
She said that after a day in labour and an hour and a half of pushing, little Marceline was born.
On July 2 Marceline turned one and Quiles decided to revisit the Tumblr post.
Quiles wrote, "In honor of my daughter's first birthday next week, I'm sharing the post that made me laugh so hard that it broke my water."
People saw what she wrote and are shook.
And most find it hilarious.
