[UPDATE Monday] Baby Coming!
At approximately 11:47 p.m., a call came across the scanner warning that a GMC Sierra with its hazard lights parked in Ferndale contained a woman in danger of “imminent childbirth.”
About 11:50 p.m., the report came that “contractions are about a minute a part.” However, the baby’s head is not crowning at this time.
UPDATE 11:58 p.m.: Medical personnel are at the scene. We hope all is well for mom and babe.
UPDATE Monday: A local scanner listener tells us that at 12:08 a.m.,
[T]he Fortuna [Ambulance] was heading out with mom and not-yet-born baby on board, Contractions were down to about every 30-40 seconds, and they reported that it was mom’s first child, she’s been under regular doctor’s care throughout the pregnancy without any complications, her vitals were all normal at this time and still with no apparent complications, and they would be at the hospital “in 6-8 minutes.” They arrived in 6 minutes.
It’s unusual to have a GOOD story to end a day like yesterday was.
UPDATE: Hello, World, Here’s Baby Nova Born This Morning

This is news?? Why? Hope the baby is fine but privacy? Just cause its on the scanner with literally no info it needs to be reported?
Because in all the years of reporting on the news, this may be the only time I’ve heard this and because…Babies!! Hope, joy, new life! Also, folks will most likely notice if someone has a new baby so I doubt I’ve exposed a hidden secret especially as no names were involved….
I appreciate the great news!
Thank you for posting a beautiful, and positive, story! How exciting!
Hope, joy, new life. I guess so. Ive never found much need for hope, probably because I dont spend much time thinking about the future. Human life is far from new. I suppose it’s raw potential and innocence that stirs us when it comes to newborns. That or it’s hormones in the ‘ol ape brain. Any reason to be happy is a good one.
Lol had mine in the car by Will its in April guess no one heard the scanner haha
Glad you and your baby did well!

Full moon tonite I wouldn’t be surprised if more women went into labor
Welcome to this crazy world, little one.
How exciting! A new one and someone else educated in childbirth! Timing is everything…
Congratulations 🌹🍼
Made me smile =)
thanks for your bits of good news♡
Love love love and more love!!!!!!
Shoulda stayed home and just had the baby. Now you have a huge ambulance bill. Ouch
i bet the emt’s who answered this call and got her to a dr needed this little good news too.
damn the expense.
Best news ever. (assuming the baby arrived healthy). Congratulations to the parent(s)!!
Confused your name fit you.
Haters just gotta hate.
Awesome. Congrats to mama and baby.
So at what time was the baby born???
This is good news & we need good news now & then.
OK… Picture a woman, alone, bringing a baby into this world, who has attended to her pregnancy for months, climbs into her truck to go to the hospital (assuming), in spite of being almost midnight on a Sunday, is actually thinking clearly enough to pull over, push the hazard light button & wait for help to arrive when every SECOND counts at this time. (Can’t help wondering where the baby daddy was at that moment or why she was alone but I can live without the details.) Happy ending & a special story to tell the child the circumstances of her birth. I thank you.
The article itself does not indicate that the dad was not there with her. Maybe he was driving her and called the EMT’s. I am not reading in the assumption that she was alone, even though that is possible. Anyway glad all ended well.
Congratulations n thank you Kym for your report. There are some ppl that like to hear good news. And babies are usually good news.
Yesterday was a day full of terrible stories. It was so nice to close the computer on a story full of hope.
This is the mom’s dad. The father and baby and mom are well. It is awesome for you to share this and thanks to all the well wishes.
