ALOHA, Ore. (AP) — An Aloha woman is recovering after her son couldn't wait for a scheduled C-section to be born.
KOIN-TV reports (http://bit.ly/1SBUFLq ) that 24-year-old Cashly Herman gave birth in the back of her brother's car on Thursday. She had planned to have a C-section next week, but her baby Ryan had other plans.
Herman went to the hospital Thursday when she started having contractions but was sent home because they weren't close enough together. A few hours later her water broke.
During the 15 minute drive to the hospital, Herman says she couldn't wait. Paramedics arrived shortly after her healthy son was born.
Because the birth was unexpected, Herman says her husband doesn't know the baby has been born as he is hunting in eastern Oregon with no cell signal.
