My sister was born in the front seat of our truck. My parents lived on a farm and the house was 30 minutes from the hospital. She was my mom's second child and came along a lot faster then my oldest sister so they thought they had time. From my mom's account when they got to the hospital my sister's head had started coming out so she just layed back on the bench seat of the truck and the person manning the ER had to catch the baby. I think they stayed at the hospital for a couple of hours then headed back out to the farm.

That was in 1971, I bet there are a million different procedures that are different these days.

I don't know what it's like in the states but here in the UK they make a big thing of not getting to the hospital too early. Labour usually takes a long time and being in labour isn't enough to be admitted to hospital. If you phoned 999 here and told them your wife was in labour they'd tell you to wait until the contractions were close and regular and then make your way to the hospital. You'd only get an ambulance if there was something wrong (lots of blood or something like that). Having a baby is not a medical emergency.

When my wife went into labour her contractions were almost immediately close and regular. When we phone the hospital they were dismissive at first but said we could come in if we wanted. They'd have a look and see how dilated she was but if she wasn't dilated enough we'd be sent home, so it was our choice. As it happened when we got there she was already 3cm dilated and was taken straight through to a delivery room. Start to finish labour for her was about 8hrs. But a friend of ours had a 36hour labour.

It's very hard to tell which it's going to be so they don't send ambulances out for every baby

Why the fuck did he drive himself instead of calling 911?!

Wait, what? Pain free natural births? Have these people never seen a baby? Do they know where it comes from? Sounds like they needed to pay more attention in biology lessons

Shepppardsaid:

Hahaha, aahhhh. Next time I go up against one of those "Births need to be natural, they can be pain-free" idiots, i'm gonna show them this.

If a women is screaming like this, I'm pretty sure they will send an ambulance.
Also, considering how money-grabbing US medical system is, they'd be all too happy to admit her, if not to charge more money, to cover their asses from a lawsuit that they didn't do all that's necessary.

Ambulance personnel is probably a bit more trained and better equipped to handle a "roadside delivery" than a guy hearing gopro on his head.
