This mom had planned on giving birth to her second child in a hospital, with an epidural. Instead, she gave birth to her son on her front lawn, with no pain medication. And her entire delivery was captured on her family's Ring doorbell camera.
" she and her husband, Michael Johnson, announced their son's birth on Facebook by posting,"Thomas is here and there is Ring footage."
Thomas's unconventional birth story began around 6:30 p.m., a week before Emily's Johnson's due date, when she started feeling contractions that were around 10 minutes apart. When the contractions began to quicken just after 9 p.m., the Johnsons said they called Emily's mom to come watch Blake, and called the hospital to tell them they were on their way.
Though the hospital was just five minutes away, Emily Johnson said she knew she wasn't going to make it.She moved herself to the front lawn of her home, and her husband and her mother, Kristy Sparks, who had arrived to care for Blake, began to deliver the baby while on the phone with a 911 dispatcher.
