California Woman Gives Birth On Front Lawn – Caught On Ring Doorbell Camera

Ring Doorbell Camera Captures Mom Giving Birth On Front Lawn

A Ring doorbell camera captured the moment a California woman gave birth in her front yard. Emily Johnson said her contractions started a week before her due date on Nov. 4 and added they were 10 minutes apart.

Despite the hospital being five minutes away from her home in Vacaville, Johnson realized they wouldn’t make it in time after the contractions started to shrink down to one minute.

“Then the contractions went from three minutes to two minutes to one minute in a matter of 20 to 30 minutes, and we are like, ‘Oh, we got to get into the car; we have to go. I’m just like, ‘I’m going to get on the grass. ‘I’m going to be here. This is my spot.’” she explained to KCRA-TV.

The baby boy was delivered safely with the help of Johnson’s mother and EMTs arrived at the scene shortly after.

“I joke that I was like a cow giving birth in the field because once I got to the hospital, I had grass clippings falling right off me and the nurses were wiping dirt off my knee and I’m like, ‘Oh, I did give birth in the lawn,’

She added that she was glad the ring camera didn’t fully expose her as well.

“I’m just thankful that I was facing in that direction because otherwise, I don’t think we’d be able to share the video footage with anybody.”
