A mother-of-two has detailed the shocking story of how she gave birth to her second daughter while in her car, thinking she was pooping when she was actually pushing her baby.
Chelsea, who did not reveal her last name, was candid with listeners while speaking on The real things podcast with host Lucie Fink.
In a video shared on YouTube, the New York-based mom detailed the wild moment she looked down at her pants and saw her newborn baby’s “hair” while sitting in her car while her husband, Justin, drove to the hospital.
She revealed that she had no idea she was in labor until the baby came out, adding that she was simply struggling to sit up, but didn’t think much of it at the time.

Chelsea, who already had a daughter at the time, was 36 weeks pregnant when she went to the doctor’s office and learned that her baby wasn’t ready to be welcomed into the world.
Later that day, after waking up from a nap, he started to feel horrible pain in his legs and couldn’t sit up.
At first, thinking she was being “dramatic,” Chelsea tried to sit up again.
After trying again, she realized she was experiencing contractions and immediately called her doctor, who told her to stay home and monitor her contractions.
Chelsea’s doctor said that if she had contractions that lasted five minutes for at least an hour, then she should go to the hospital.
However, Chelsea’s pain soon worsened and she could no longer bear it, so she told her husband that they had to go to the hospital immediately.
Not having time to wait for her husband’s family to come take care of their other daughter, they tied her to the car seat and took her away as well.
When Chelsea sat in the car, she held herself up with her arms and desperately squeezed the handbrake with one hand because she felt so much pain when she sat down.

Thinking she had pooped, Chelsea looked inside her sweatpants and saw her baby’s hair and grabbed it as it came out.
“The baby is coming, the baby is coming,” Chelsea shouted as her husband tried to drive quickly but safely to the hospital.
She said, “Suddenly, I really wanted to go to the bathroom, so I was like, ‘Justin, I really have to go to the bathroom and take us to the hospital.'” He says, “You know, if you have to go, go, I guess, no.” “I know what to tell you, as if we weren’t going to be there.”
Chelsea added: “I had only been in labor for about 15 to 20 minutes so I didn’t really think… I thought I really had to poop.”
The mother of two began to push as if she were going to the bathroom and soon after felt relief.
As they approached the hospital, Chelsea began to wonder how bad the damage was and reached into the back of her pants to feel how much she had excreted.
However, he didn’t feel what he expected and instead felt something more solid.
She explained: “At that moment, luckily, I’m wearing big sweatpants, so I open the front and look to see what’s in my pants.” and it was my daughter’s head; At the time I didn’t know she was a girl.
‘I was not positive It was the head because it was just like his hair, I realized it wasn’t poop and it wasn’t a full baby so I got closer to feel it and it was his hair.
Chelsea is now five months postpartum and both she and her daughters are healthy and happy.
‘At that point she wasn’t fully out yet, but when I touched her head, she slid out and I held her.
“I was like, ‘Look, it’s the baby.'”
Justin and Chelsea were stunned when their car seats became flooded with blood, but luckily they had just arrived at the hospital.
As soon as they arrived, a good Samaritan gave Chelsea a wheelchair and pushed her to the delivery area.
Doctors cut the umbilical cord and told Chelsea she had given birth to a happy, healthy baby, whom she named Olivia and who weighed seven pounds.
Doctors then stitched her up and gave her a bill for “labor and delivery” services, despite not having delivered the baby in the hospital.
At the end of the video, Chelsea noted that she “doesn’t have a high pain tolerance,” before stating that if “she can do it, anyone can.”
Chelsea is now five months postpartum and she and her daughters are healthy and happy.
Chelsea revealed that she and Justin have no plans to have another baby anytime soon.
