A Husband Drives His Pregnant Wife to the Hospital, Films Her Giving Birth in the Moving Car and Then She Gets Right on Her Cell Phone

On Friday afternoon, Jennifer Russell of Waxahachie, Texas started having contractions. So her husband Zachary got her in the car and started driving her to the hospital, 45 minutes away.

Jennifer says she was expecting a long labor, because her first child took 12 hours. This second one? Not so much.

About 15 minutes into the drive, Jennifer realized the baby wasn't going to wait. So she delivered her own baby daughter, right there, riding shotgun IN THE MOVING CAR.

And we know that's how it went down, because while Zachary was driving...he FILMED THE BIRTH. Then he posted it on YouTube.

It starts with a shot of the baby RIGHT after it came out. Amazing. Then, Jennifer gets on her cell phone and calls the hospital. The whole thing feels very 2012.

Zachary kept driving to the hospital, where Jennifer and the new baby, Willow, were admitted instantly. Both of them are healthy. Willow came in just under eight pounds.

The video's called "Birth of Willow Mealee" and it's already received over 100,000 views.
