South Jersey Mom Gives Birth Inside SUV

Tiffany Modeste was expected to give birth this past Tuesday, she just didn't expect the extreme circumstances.

The Burlington County Mom was expecting to be induced, not go into labor.  While sitting in her home, she noticed contractions that were 10 minutes a part.  She called her doctor in Pennington, and the doctor thought it was just early labor, and there was no need to rush.

The contractions began to change, and started coming at a much faster pace.  The baby was coming, and Tiffany knew the baby was going to be coming before they can get to her doctor.  She and her husband Andre got into their SUV and started driving.  Andre stopped at numerous local rescue service centers a long the way, but no luck.

Tiffany told NBC 10, 'All I remember is hearing the roar of the engine while I was in labor.  And with each labor pain I got I had the urge to actually push. My body is pushing. I’m not trying to push but my body is doing it. It was natural. At one point I put my hand down and realized something was really happening. Then my husband pulled into the parking lot at Lourdes.'

At Lourdes Medical Center in Burlington County, Tiffany's husband immediately got out of the car and ran in screaming for help.  Doctors and nurses come out with wheelchairs and gurney's, only to find Tiffany in the backseat of the SUV holding her newborn son.

Mason Modeste is a healthy seven pounds, six ounces and 20.5 inches long. Both him and his Mother are doing just fine and resting comfortably at Capital Health.
