SPOKANE, Wash., Dec. 17 (UPI) — Security cameras at a Spokane, Wash., bus station captured an unusual scene as a local woman gave birth a month before her due date.
Mary Jones of Spokane said she was at the Spokane Transit Authority plaza in the city’s downtown Sunday evening when she felt her water break.
“I knew I was ready,” Jones told KHQ-TV. “I yelled for somebody from security.”
Firefighters and paramedics from the Spokane Fire Department soon arrived and Jones’ daughter was born after just 30 minutes of labor.
“I gave birth actually in the Plaza and they took care of the baby and made sure the baby was warm. Then they took care of me, that was my wishes,” Jones said.
Jones said the baby was about a month early and is being treated at a local hospital’s NICU.
“She’s doing the best she can right now,” Jones said. “I just pray and hope my baby comes out OK.”
The new mother said the delivery was a bit more public than she would have liked.
“I wished everybody would quit taking pictures and videos,” she said.
Spokane Fire Department officials said they were happy to help with the unusual emergency.
“It’s actually good news. Most of the time when people call us, it’s a crisis we would like to forget,” Assistant Chief Brian Schaeffer told KXLY-TV. “Those are the calls, the very few calls that we try to remember.”
