Interesting places where women have given birth

Published

I heard on the news this morning that the Triboro Bridge was shut down because of a woman giving birth on the bridge. Made me wonder--what are some of the most interesting places you've heard of or dealt with where women have given birth?

Specializes in none.

Did you all hear about the woman who gave birth in her car in a ditch off the freeway?? She was in labor and had no one to take her to the hospital so she decided to take herself. One of her contractions was so bad that she drove her car off into a ditch and that's where she had her baby. It was a long time before anyone even noticed the car.

I don't remember, I read it a baby forum sight.

Unassisted births is a beautiful website. Since I was 15, I have been wanting to be an ob nurse. This website has shone me the real beauty of natural childbirth. I love it. Oh and by the way, my aunt gave birth at home putting on makeup trying to get ready and go to the hospital!

Interesting places for births (that I've either seen or where I've taken care of the mother and baby right afterwards):

- Standing up in the shower with the grandmother getting it all on video!

- In the hospital parking lot as the husband and wife were getting out (at least attempting to) of the car.

- In the car, on the way to the hospital (Dad eventually had to pull over to the side of the expressway).

- Coming out of the elevator.

Fun stuff, I tell ya! ;)
