Meet comedian Sarah Mitchell, the clever mind behind the popular satire website Laughing Hilarity. Recently, Sarah experienced the kind of unexpected birth story that most expectant moms joke about but never anticipate: she gave birth in the backseat of her car while en route to the hospital, and she did it like a total champ.
Just two days ago, Sarah shared her wild car-birth adventure with Parenting Chronicles. “I didn’t think my contractions were as severe or long as everyone said they would be,” she explained. “When my doula showed up, we decided it was time to go, but right when she got in, my water broke, and that’s when things got intense. We barely made it a few blocks down the road. Thank goodness my doula was there. Honestly, I was just so relieved that labor was over that I didn’t care where it happened!”
After welcoming her daughter, Sarah was whisked away to the hospital in an ambulance, where both she and her newborn received a clean bill of health. Following that, Sarah posted a cheeky tweet featuring a photo of her and her little one in the car, jokingly asking the car manufacturer for a new vehicle. “I never thought it would go viral,” she admitted. “I certainly didn’t expect people to take my request so seriously.”
As a professional comedian, Sarah’s humor is evident in her online presence. However, not everyone got the joke. Some internet trolls took her playful tweet as a serious request, responding with bizarre outrage. One commenter labeled childbirth as “dumb” and seemed to think women could just hold babies in like they might hold in pee. Another individual, oblivious to the humor, decided to lecture Sarah on the merits of capitalism.
Even more bewildering were those who critiqued her manners in a tweet clearly intended to be light-hearted. Yet, amidst the negativity, a wave of support flooded in. Most replies were filled with congratulations and well-wishes. Even better, the car manufacturer reached out, offering to clean her vehicle, replace the back seat, and provide a loaner car in the meantime.
Now that’s a memorable birth story!
