A Minnesota mother has given birth to a baby boy while driving herself to the hospital, with the newborn’s father steering the car from the passenger’s seat.
The Pioneer of Bemidji says 29-year-old Amanda McBride was rushing to the hospital Wednesday when suddenly her water broke and the baby “just slid out.”
McBride says she was feeling labor pains at work, so she drove to pick up the baby’s father and headed for the hospital. The father, 33-year-old Joseph Phillips, did not drive because he has a history of seizures.
Phillips told the newspaper that McBride yelled at him to take the wheel as she cradled the 8-pound baby boy, Joseph Dominick Phillips.
Officials at North Country Regional Hospital say they were stunned to learn the expectant mother was driving.

Museum’s expensive gift
An anonymous donor has surprised a Florida museum with a valuable gift: a Georgia O’Keeffe painting.
“Grey Hills Painted Red, New Mexico” was hung on a gallery wall at the Museum of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg on Tuesday.
Museum director John Schloder told the St. Petersburg Times a woman called and asked if the museum wanted to see her O’Keeffe painting, and things progressed from there.
The donor doesn’t want to be named, but she told Schloder she loves visiting the museum and wanted it to have her O’Keefe.
The painting from 1930 has been owned by several private collectors.
Schloder says the museum never could have afforded it newborn car seats
