But have you ever had a patient dance the pain away? This woman did it and we want to thank her husband for getting it all on video.

A Boston woman suffering from labor pains decided to dance through it in her hospital room.

The video, taken on Tuesday at the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, shows Yuki Nishizawa doing the butterfly, side shuffle and "Tootsee Roll" as her husband and hospital staff laugh in encouragement.

Her husband Connell Cloyd uploaded the video of the dance routine on Tuesday, and as of Thursday the video had over 3 million views.

"I know I shouldn't be laughing as a husband, but she wanted to be famous, so I guess this is how you do it, doing the tootsie roll in labor," Cloyd says while laughing.

In the video, Nishizawa says her "water is breaking" but continues to dance.
