Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A woman has been filmed by her husband giving birth to a 10lb baby in the front seat of a car while her husband drove her to a birthing centre.
The remarkable footage of the unnamed woman, posted on YouTube, shows her delivering the baby as the car speeds down the motorway.
The idea had been to reach the Bay Area Birth Centre, near Houston, Texas – but the couple did not make it in time.
Posted on YouTube on Thursday, the four-minute video opens with the caption: “We’ve been driving for about 45 mins. Already.”
She then takes her trousers down and out the baby comes. The couple then exchange a high-five and the man tells the woman: “We did it.”
The woman replies: “He came out right in the car! Oh my God. You're beautiful! Oh my goodness! What do I do?”
The baby is the couple's third child. Their first two children, both daughters, now aged two and one, were born at the birthing centre.
