DES MOINES, Iowa —An Iowa mother delivered her own baby en route to the hospital last weekend.
Jessika and Danny Thurman were on their way from their home in Mitchellville to Methodist Medical Center, but their baby wouldn't wait.
"I could just feel her, she was coming out and there was no stopping her," said Jessika Thurman.
Jessika Thurman said it was only about 20 minutes between when she woke up from a nap with contractions to when she delivered her own baby sitting upright in the passenger seat of the van. The moment was captured on a 911 call with a dispatcher.

...only to be charged with practicing medicine without a license.
So she wasn’t a surrogate mother?
Not being female, but I suspect this was not her first...........
I stopped by to check on a friend. Her hubby was a bomb disposal tech. Said he would be home any minute now. We ushered her into the car and headed for the hospital. Wife and great dane in the back seat. No police around when needed, or maybe they could’t catch me. I did a four wheel drift from four lanes onto five. I raced up to the ER doors and rushed in to say,
there’s a lady having a baby in my front seat! The staff rolled their eyes at my panic and said, “bring her in.” Baby got delivered in the car. Way cool!
“Love a happy ending.”
No medical bill! YES!
