Mother Pulls Down Pants After Water Breaks

A woman gave birth while driving, TwinCities.com reported.

The site said that 29-year-old Amanda McBride was working a late shift, though she was already more than a week past her expected due date. She left work and picked up the baby's father, Joseph Phillips.

Phillips can't drive because he suffers seizures, so McBride stayed behind the wheel.

McBride said that the labor pains weren't that bad. But when her water broke, she told Phillips to grab the wheel.

She said she pulled down her pants after her water broke.

"And then the baby just came right out," she said. "I was just sitting on the seat, and he just slid out. It really wasn't bad at all."

The baby weighed 8 pounds.

The baby, named Joseph, is the couple's first child. McBride has two other sons, and Phillips has two daughters.

...hardly no pain...



...the dream of the majority of women in child birth....

That didn't happen for me. I screamed loud enough for the little eldery ladies down the hall to hear me. They honestly thought someone was killing me. :lol:
 
Mom was one of those. According to the nurse... the needles were off the scale, and they didn't understand how she wasn't in pain. Technically, she should had been experiencing the worst pain in that hospital's history. I think in cases were pain were not felt, their body is in so much pain-- it numbed itself.

My theory?

I think this woman was in more pain than anyone else on this forum that she went over the threshold.
 
Unless her adrenalin was pumping so much that she felt no pain. Knowing she had to focus and drive.

I felt like I was being split into two, when I was in labor.
 
Seems I've heard that after the 2nd childbirth, babies come faster with less pain....

But this woman takes the cake....jeez!....8 lbs., and no pain?

In the olden days, no pain killer was allowed...now-a-days...women seem to have "painless" childbirth, or just a little pain....once they get that shot!

I was only allowed a little ice to moisten my throat....otherwise, it was all natural birth, no drugs.

Same here....the hospital I had my second child in, did not provide that sort of thing. :lol:

I was screaming at the nurses. (Poor Ladies and one Man) 'This is a modern hospital and you have no &*&$#^&*#*& pain medicine?!?!' Thats what my friend and my father both told me. :lol:
 
Labor rooms must "sound" like a horror house! Torture!...Screaming, cussing, assaults....etc......."Help me"!..."ahhhhhh"....

Makes you "wonder" how hearies (doctors/nurses/aides) can deal with all the screaming going on????...Do they "secretly" wear ear plugs???...Imagine 10-20 women in labor at the same time!....Same hospital floor....Screaming & cussing, crying....throwing things...(my friend did!)....She told the doctor....."Never mind!...I've changed my mind!....I don't want to have this baby!"......

And the poor husbands/bf's.....having to "listen" to the women screaming insults at them, and blaming them for it all.....

Just a thought.....
 
I did not holler, scream, cuss, or blamed the father. I was just in pain.

Many women opt for epidurals now a days. So I am sure the maternity ward is not as loud as some of you think it is.
 
I was too busy screaming my head off to say a few coherent words.


Hospital I was in didn't even offer epidural, until 4 years ago.
 
I guess I'm glad I had 2 C-sections.

My kids were 12 1/2 pounds and 10 1/2 pounds. Big one was 2 weeks late, other was 2 weeks early.

Kristina....damn!...you're a "walking miracle"....ur babies were "heavyweights"....I'm small-structured and having a 12 1/2 lb. baby would be like shooting a cannonball up my "u-know-what".....
 
Well, it's better than sticking your head out of the window and scream....

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

While other drivers sees the car go by and go :wtf:

LOL my son was 10lbs 9 oz, I had him vaginally w/an epidural. At the time I didn't know how big he was until it was over. He's my first & only at this point. And he was born on his due date. He's the biggest of this generation, but small compared to my Great-grandmother's. 14lbs 7oz was the biggest, no meds & at home. My Nana was considered 'sickly' at 10lbs.

I don't think she would care if she is screaming like a banshee with her head out the window.
