Bagley woman gives birth to son in car – while driving
By: Bethany Wesley, Bemidji Pioneer
Joseph Dominick Phillips was born at 12:20 a.m. Wednesday in his mother’s 2005 red Chevrolet Cobalt. Amanda (Norgaard) McBride was driving the vehicle until the impending delivery forced her to turn over steering control to the newborn’s father, Joseph Phillips. Pioneer Photo/Monte Draper Joseph Phillips ran into the North Country Regional Hospital emergency room early Wednesday morning calling for help because his newborn son was in the car with his mother.
The hospital staff was perplexed when, after running outside, there was no one visible in the passenger seat.
“The other side, the other side,” Phillips recalled shouting, explaining that the mother and child were in the driver’s seat.
The response from the hospital staff was unanimous: “She was driving?”
The birth of Joseph Dominick Phillips will certainly be a story his parents recall for years.
Amanda (Norgaard) McBride, 29, was working her usual shift at TEAM Industries in Bagley when she began to get really uncomfortable after about 11:30 p.m.
“I said, ‘I gotta’ go!’ and ran out,” Amanda said. Her due date was predicted to be between May 15-18, so the impending birth was right on time.
She went and picked up Phillips, 33, and she began to drive from their home between Shevlin and Bagley to North Country Regional Hospital in Bemidji.
Amanda drove the 2005 red Chevrolet Cobalt because Phillips suffers seizures.
“It wasn’t really that bad,” Amanda said of the labor pains.
At about Wilton, her water broke.
“She yelled at me to grab the wheel,” Phillips said. “And then, all of a sudden, I heard this little waaa (cry).”
Amanda said she had managed to pull down her pants after her water broke.
“And then the baby just came right out,” she said. “I was just sitting on the seat and he just slid out. It really wasn’t bad at all.”
Joseph was born at 12:20 a.m. with a full head of dark hair. He weighed 8 pounds and was 18.5 inches long.
Amanda held the newborn and turned on the heat in the vehicle as Phillips managed to steer them into the NCRH parking lot.
Phillips did ask her if they should call 911, but Amanda was against that idea. She figured they would have to pull over and wait for ambulance in the same amount of time that it would take for them to finish the drive.
Both recognized how fortunate they were that neither mother nor baby had any complications during childbirth.
Once at the ER, hospital staff took Amanda inside to finish the birthing process.
Joseph, the couple’s first child together, is Amanda’s third son. Phillips also has two daughters.

というわけで、夫のジョゼフ・フィリップス（33歳）はてんかんの持病があっていつ発作が起きるかもしれないので、運転を見合わせていたのだとか。
あっさりと生まれたのは、アマンダ・マクブライド（29歳）が過去に2人の女の子を産んでいた経産婦だったからのよう。それでも、病院関係者が驚いたのは当然です。
生まれたのは、体重3.6kgの元気な男の子。「ジョゼフ」と父親と同じ名前がつけられています。
運転していたのが2005年型のシボレー・コバルトだったので、シボレーから次のようなプレス・リリースが発表され、さまざまなプレゼントがこの夫婦に贈られました。（http://www.worldcarfans.com/110052726490/mom-gives-birth-behind-the-wheel-of-chevy-cobalt-gm-gives）

Chevrolet Congratulates Cobalt Baby's Family with Child Safety Seats and a Year's Supply of Diapers
Mother gives birth while driving her 2005 Chevy Cobalt to the hospital
DETROIT, May 26 - Earlier this week in Minnesota, Chevrolet was pleased to learn that the newest member of the Chevy family - a healthy 8-pound newborn named Joseph - was miraculously delivered while his mother Amanda McBride was driving her Chevy Cobalt to the hospital.
Amazingly, the boy's father, Joseph Phillips, unable to drive because of a medical condition, was able to steer the Cobalt to safety from the passenger seat as Amanda gave birth behind the wheel. To celebrate this incredible delivery, Chevy will provide Amanda McBride and her family with:
A one-year supply of diapers (to avoid any other unexpected deliveries in the car)
Two child safety seats
A stroller
Numerous other supplies (bottles, formula, toys, etc.)
"We knew the Cobalt was designed to deliver its occupants safely, but never did we expect a delivery quite like this," said Margaret Brooks, Chevrolet product marketing director, Small Cars and Crossovers. "From everyone at Chevrolet, we'd like to congratulate Amanda and Joseph on the newest addition to their family. Unfortunately, there is no section in the Cobalt driver's manual on 'How to Change a Diaper,' but we're sure they'll do just fine."

贈られるのは、1年分の紙おむつ、ふたりの赤ちゃん用セーフティー・シート、ベビーカー、ほ乳瓶、ミルク、おもちゃだとか。
ただし、シボレーとしては、車を運転しながら出産することは勧めないと述べ、残念ながらコバルトのマニュアルにはおむつの替え方は載っていないとジョークを飛ばしています。
ともあれ、よかったですね、事故も起きずに。ジョゼフが元気に育つことを祈りましょう。
