Programmer drives pregnant wife to hospital and baby born in car (sheknows.com)

Husband drove wife to hospital and baby born in the car. The actual trade of the husband appears to be irrelevant, any husband would normally drive his wife to the hospital, I would go further and say that anyone would drive a pregnant woman near delivery time to the hospital. All the merits are of the woman/wife, as often happens when a birth happens.

Good work, beautiful baby, congratulations Jennifer!


I think my trade had a great deal to do with how logical I was during crisis.


I don't want to take anything away from you and from the influence your logic skills have provided, but really - don't take it as an offence - at least from the linked to article it is not like you did anything out of the common. If you were a carpenter and out for work, most probably the same results could have been obtained with a taxy or even - possibly - a Uber. On the other hand, if you were a world rally champion pilot your baby might have been delivered in the hospital alright. Anyway, congratulations to you as well!


lol. I was driving very rally like but traffic was just too dense.


It would be relevant if it was a self-driving car, perhaps.


Isn't this not all that rare?

edit: Written by the wife, not the husband. His profession has nothing to do with anything.

Still read it, sounds scary and I'm glad they are OK.


we have 3 kids and it only happened that one time.


link is to page 2/2 of the story. took me a second to figure that out. Page 1: http://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/1130011/i-deliver...


oops thanks. can't edit url any more or I would fix.
