A woman has described how she was left in shock after giving birth to her daughter in the passenger seat of a car stuck in traffic.
Deshay Fudd, 23, from Atlanta, Georgia, felt contractions on the morning of November 29, and when her husband Loston returned from work, they decided to go to the hospital.
However, after 10 minutes of driving, Deshay’s water broke and she ended up giving birth to her newborn somewhere north of I-75.
Recounting the chain of events, the now mom-of-three told Fox 5 News: “I was like, oh my gosh, my water just broke and then something kind of exploded in my pants… a second later she was in my pants.” … I didn’t even have time to get emotional, it was just a total shock.”

Deshaie went into labor on the morning of November 29, and when her husband Loston returned from work, they decided to go to the hospital.
Trying to speed up the trip to the hospital, Loston, 25, frantically stopped the police car so that it could turn on the headlights and speed them up in traffic.
As they made their way to the hospital, Deshay said she made sure her baby was warm and breathing normally.
She explained NeedToKnow.Online: “She didn’t cry, so we were worried until I felt her move.
“My husband was screaming and asking if she was okay and asking what he should do.
“I told him to keep driving and take us to the hospital!” At first I panicked, but I just wanted to reassure my husband that she was fine and keep driving so we could get to the hospital as soon as possible.”
When they got to the hospital, the Faddovs were greeted by about 15 medical workers.
Luckily, baby Daria was “in excellent condition” and weighed five pounds and 12 ounces.
The newborn and her family were discharged from the hospital the day after the car was born.
