A video posted on Thursday shows a woman deliver her own baby in the passenger seat of a car on the way to a Houston birthing center.
A man, believed to be her husband and father of the child, filmed the birth as he drove. The 10lb baby boy is the couple’s third child, following two daughters, aged 2and 1.
Lesia Pettijohn of Lake Jackson told her husband to record her giving birth once she realized the baby would arrive before they could make it to a Houston birthing center.
But the mother of 3 must have been playing modest because the Go-Pro footage that’s gone viral since last Thursday shows a calm, collected woman keeping it together in a crazy situation.
Lesia explained that she delivered that baby herself because her husband, John, kept driving down the highway towards the Bay Area Birth Center at her insistence. She said she was afraid they may need help at some point and neither had a cell phone.
‘When he was out I was like I gotta push the rest of him out and grab him and pick him up and I was like what do I do, what do I wrap him in? My shirt is pretty long I will wrap him up in that,’ said Lesia.
