A Woman Had to Give Birth in a Traffic Jam Because of Obama’s Motorcade

Jessica Brown and her husband Zakk Satterley were rushing toward a hospital in Louisville, Kentucky on Thursday afternoon, because she was in labor. But they got stuck in a terrible traffic jam.

President Obama was in town, and the roads were shut down for his motorcade. Jessica called an ambulance, but it couldn’t get to them. So . . . she had to give birth right there.

Nurse Tonia Vetter helped deliver the baby

Fortunately, a nurse named Tonia Vetter was stuck a few cars back and realized something was wrong. So she ran up and helped Jessica deliver the baby.

She says everything went extremely well, considering how many things could’ve gone wrong . . . from hemorrhaging to problems with the umbilical cord.

They used a shoelace to cut the cord . . . wrapped the baby in a blanket from someone else’s trunk . . . and Jessica and the baby eventually made it to the hospital where they’re both doing great.
