Comedian Laura Fields, the witty founder of the sharp-tongued website The Laughing Mom, recently went viral after sharing an unforgettable experience: giving birth in the back seat of her car on the way to the hospital. Laura, who is also a proud mother of one, found herself in a situation that many expectant moms joke about, but seldom expect to actually encounter.
A Whirlwind Car Birth
In a candid interview with Parenting Today, Laura recounted her whirlwind car birth. “The contractions didn’t feel as intense as I thought they would, so I didn’t think it was time to go to the hospital,” she explained. “Just as my doula arrived, my water broke, and things escalated quickly. We only made it a few blocks before my daughter made her grand entrance. Honestly, I was just relieved that labor was over, regardless of the location.”
Following the dramatic birth, Laura and her newborn were checked out at the hospital and given a clean bill of health. Shortly after, she tweeted a photo of herself and her baby in the car, humorously asking the car manufacturer for a new vehicle. “I really didn’t expect it to blow up like that,” she said. “And I was surprised by how many people took my request at face value.”
Mixed Reactions Online
Despite Laura’s comedic background, some internet trolls missed the joke entirely. A few individuals reacted with outrage, failing to grasp the humor in her tweet. One user absurdly labeled childbirth as “dumb,” as if women could simply hold a baby in as if it were a bladder issue. Another commenter seemed only capable of outrage rather than humor, while yet another man attempted to “mansplain” capitalism in response to the tweet.
However, the overwhelming majority of responses were congratulatory and supportive. What’s more, the car company responded to Laura’s tweet, offering to clean her vehicle and replace the back seat while providing her a loaner car. A memorable conclusion to a rather unconventional birth story!
