At the end of the video, Sophia assured viewers that she still wanted to have children and was not traumatized.

Ashley said News week: ‘She’s a mini version of me, so I wasn’t surprised she wanted to be there. I knew she would be fine if it was crude or too graphic, I was more concerned about her understanding the risk factors and knowing I would be in pain.

“I highly recommend having siblings present in the right circumstances and with a plan in place in case something goes wrong. It can be a very positive experience, but I don’t think it’s for all children.
