When baby is ready, he or she will stop for no one—or nothing, not even a natural disaster. No one knows this better than the South Florida mom who gave birth right outside of the hospital. According to an article in Huffington Post, the amazing birth was captured by photographer Emily Robinson.
"It was the first time I ever saw a mother be wheeled INTO the hospital holding her new baby," wrote Robinson on her blog. "It was the fastest, most incredible, beautiful, wild birth I’ve ever had the pleasure to document."
Robinson had been warned that mom-to-be Amy Beth Cavaretta had a quick, relatively easy labour with her first child, so she would make a good candidate to have her birth photographed. Little did either party know she would deliver quite so quickly.
"I did not know that I was going to have a baby on the sidewalk," laughed Cavaretta.
Neither did anyone else. Robinson claimed there was no sense of panic, until Cavaretta leaned against a pillar and announced that the baby was coming. No sooner had her husband fetched a wheelchair than midwife Laurie Ross-Berke held little Sienna Grace's head.
It all happened at breakneck speed, with little more than a minute's warning.
The incredible photos speak for themselves...
Have an especially fast (or s-l-o-w) labour? Spill it.
