VIRAL: Woman gives birth inside moving car
A video of a woman who gave birth in a car while her husband recorded the entire ordeal has went viral.
Leslie and Jon Pettijohn are heading to the Bay Area Birth Center in Houston, Texas when Leslie underwent the last stages of labor.
After driving for about 45 minutes, she experienced contractions, and moments later, the baby came out.
Leslie, after giving birth, exclaimed: “Oh my gosh, we just had a baby in the car.”
Jon, who recorded the whole experience through his GoPro while driving, then asked for a high-five: “We did it! High-five, babe!”
Asked on why he didn’t pull over, Jon told KHOU 11 News: “The only reason I would need to pull over is that if there is something wrong that needed to be dealt with immediately.”
The baby boy, named Josiah, weighed 10 pounds.
Before giving birth to Josiah, the Pettijohns had two daughters, both were delivered in a hospital.
Jon’s video, which he uploaded on YouTube, has since been viewed more than four million times. AJH/DPL
