An experienced Phoenix mother gave birth in a car, but not in the way one may assume—she was the one driving.

Shannon Geise’s fifth child was due. Around midnight on Wednesday, Nov. 8, her water broke. She thought she still had a few hours before contractions were to come. So she took a shower and started to pack. But the contractions came earlier—and harder—than she expected.
