My Husband Drove While I Delivered
By Lori
I was six days from the due date of my third child. On January 6, 1991 at 11:13 p.m., I started to have very mild cramps, so I called the
doctor. He said meet to him at the hospital. So I woke up my husband and got my aunt to watch our other two girls.
We left at 11:45 p.m. and headed to the hospital, which is about 10 minutes from home, and I felt the need to push. I pushed one time, and the head crowned. The rest of the baby followed. It was a girl. She was 6 pounds and 19 inches long. I did it by myself while my husband was driving. She is now 8 years old and in the second grade.
