In a bizarre incident, a couple in the United States recently delivered their baby on the side of a highway with the help of two nearby phone chargers.

Taking to Facebook, Emily Waddell, revealed that she was on her way to the hospital with her husband, Stephan Waddell, when she realised she was not going to make it on time. She immediately asked Mr Stephan to pull the car over on the side of Interstate 69, where their daughter Reagan was then born, weighing seven pounds and 10 ounces on September 12.

In the post, Ms Emily wrote that she told her husband she did not want to have the baby in a truck just moments before making him pull over.

Mr Stephan then pulled off the interstate where he assisted his wife to deliver their daughter. Ms Emily revealed that after successful delivery, she had to suction out the baby’s mouth and nose while Mr Stephan worked to tie off the umbilical cord.

“Stephan used two phone chargers to tie off the umbilical cord while I suctioned her mouth and nose out with my mouth — which is very difficult when you just pushed a baby on the side of the road.” she wrote on Facebook.  — ndtv.com
