I have a friend who gave birth to her daughter in the backseat of her car. Her husband was on the way to the hospital, but their daughter just couldn't wait so he pulled off onto one of the exists and it was there that their daughter was born. Of course, they called 911 and mother and baby were taken to the hospital. I know someone else who didn't even know she was pregnant. She just thought she was going through her changes and when she went to take a bath one night, she gave birth to a son. These are unusual birth stories and I'm wondering if anyone here has ever heard a similar or even more unusual birth story or maybe you have one yourself. Please share.

hmmm.. i remember one of my female bestfriends giving birth in their van on their way to the hospital. it was really a miracle that the baby actually lived coz the moment the baby got out, her feet went out first, she was lifeless and blue (literally), and the hospital was a good half-hour drive. fortunately, the doctors really gave everything they've got to revive the baby.. and they succeeded! c',) i remember seeing the baby (the day after), the lower half of her body was still blue, but her upper body was doing better. she celebrated her 2nd birthday last december! c",)

I just had a friend yesterday call and say that he friend did the same thing. She told her hubby get me to the hospital and well the baby wasnt waiting..she dindt even get to get her pants all the way down and when the paramedics got to her, the baby was actually inside her pants, they carefully got her out of the car while someone held on to the baby who was still on teh cord, once on a stretcher they cut the cord...both are doing fine. I dont know what i would have done had that happened to me. In this friends case, the mom said when she filled out the birth certificate she said to the doc..what do i put as place of birth? LOL she said it was on rte 29 in the car..but do i put that? lol...good question.

My better half used to play in a band and a woman who followed them had her baby on the dance floor one night. She was rather large anyway and no one, including her, knew she was pregnant. She just thought she had the cramps that night.

Interesting. Well, that's quite the story to tell her when she grows up, lol. Hopefully she'll have a sense of humor about it. And the other one about not knowing she was pregnant, is that even possible? Obviously it is, but I would imagine she must have felt some movement at some point during the pregnancy. That's odd.
