Mom shares wild birth story where she delivered her baby in the front seat of a car: Just fell out

A Perth mom has shared the unexpected birth story of her second child, where she delivered her baby in the front seat of her car with her partner by her side.In a video posted to TikTok, Mia Katson, 26, recounted the whirlwind events leading up to her daughter’s birth, which she described as both “wild” and “beautiful.”She explained that her labor experience this time was starkly different from her first, where she had been induced.This previous experience left her unaware she was in labor until it was almost too late.“I woke up Monday morning feeling really good,” she said.But by midmorning, she began noticing a strange sensation in her lower abdomen, which felt “like gas or constipation pain.”At 40 weeks and three days pregnant, she hoped it was the start of labor but didn’t think it was serious.Despite this, she carried on with her day as normal, taking her eldest daughter to swimming lessons before dropping her at her mom’s house.The turning point came during a routine check-up with her midwife at midday, where the midwife performed a stretch and sweep, noting she was already three centimeters dilated and could “stretch to almost four.”While the midwife predicted the baby would arrive before Friday, she reassured the mom that labor could still be days away.By the time the couple returned home around 12:30pm, things began escalating.“I was doing bounces and hip rocks on the birthing ball, and my partner was deciding whether to go for a run or pick up our daughter,” she recalled.Thankfully, they decided their eldest should stay at her grandmother’s house.While her partner, Callum Rule, went for a quick run, Ms.Katson hopped into the shower, hoping to ease the discomfort of some hot flushes she was having.“In the 20 minutes I was in the shower, the pain really ramped up,” she said.
