My friend had to rush his heavily pregnant wife to hospital last night. She was convinced she was about to give birth...the hospital felt otherwise and sent them back home.
On the way back home she started to give birth. The baby was delivered in the back of the car by my friend (despite the total lack of boiling waterlaugh ) much to his astonishment, followed by a frantic dash back to the hospital.


Mother and baby are doing fine.

Why do they boil water anyway? Is that for the tea?

Thank goodness the mother and child are doing fine. It's normal practice for a hospital to send a mother home if she hasn't dialated or if the water hasn't broken and there's no discernable pattern to labor. But, still I do tend to agree that the woman should have insisted upon remaining in the hospital. But in the end apparently it worked out for the best with mother and child experiencing no after effects from being born in the back of a car...and just think of the stories the pop will have to tell about when the kid gets older. LOL..best wishes to the family! Babies are a joy!yay

Just a footnote.... the baby is to be named Aaron and as he was born outside a restaurant called Rocco's that maybe his middle name.
The family are all back home and well now.
