Fox Business reporter Taylor Riggs has captured the internet's attention after sharing her extraordinary childbirth story—one that unfolded in the back of a Lyft car.
The journalist recounted how she was turned away from two hospitals while in active labour, forcing her to deliver her baby during an emergency ride-share journey.
A Race Against Time
Riggs described going into labour earlier than expected, with contractions coming rapidly. "I knew we didn't have much time," she said. After being refused at two medical facilities, the desperate mother-to-be hailed a Lyft as her only option.
An Unlikely Delivery Room
What followed was a scene straight out of a movie. "My water broke in the car, and before we could reach the third hospital, my daughter decided she was coming right then and there," Riggs explained. The Lyft driver reportedly remained calm throughout the ordeal, even helping time contractions.
The Aftermath Goes Viral
Riggs' story gained traction after she shared details on social media, with many praising both her composure and the driver's professionalism. The incident has sparked conversations about emergency childbirth preparedness and hospital protocols for labouring mothers.
"I'm just grateful my daughter is healthy," Riggs concluded, "and that we had such an amazing stranger helping us through this wild experience."
