An 18-year-old Thai gave birth in the passenger seat of a Mercedes Benz which was doing 140 km per hour (85 mph) to try to get her to hospital in time, The Nation newspaper reported on Thursday.
Juthamas Srimongkol, who was only seven months pregnant when she went into labor on Wednesday, was rushed to hospital in her father-in-law's luxury saloon, but delivered a son 19 km (12 miles) short of their destination, the newspaper said.

Mother-in-law Jimhaeng sae Iab, 47, leapt into the car's front seat when she heard a "splitting noise," but discovered she was too late.

"The baby had already come out. I held him and cleaned his body but could not cut his umbilical cord because we didn't have any equipment," she was quoted as saying.

Demonstrating remarkable calm behind the wheel, her husband offered soothing words throughout the high-speed ordeal in Khon Kaen in northeast Thailand.

"When the baby came out, he continued offering moral support to our daughter-in-law," Jimhiang said. "He kept telling us how much closer we were to getting to the hospital."

Doctors said both mother and baby, who weighed in at 1.8 kg (4 lb), were safe although they would be kept in hospital for around two weeks.

What're they gonna name the kid? Mercedes? Benz? :laugh:

It'd be more awesome if the baby was ejected from the womb @ 140 kph.

What gets me about this article... is it's the mother in law in total control of the story... OF COURSE she's going to say that her son was calm and amazing.... I wonder what the woman who actually had the baby has to say about the whole ordeal.

-max

P.S. also the whole "teen" thing is kinda irrelavent considering they are married.

P.P.S. I imagine this kind of thing happens more often than you might think.

I laughed.

And I cringed at "splitting sound."

And then realized that the car's owner wasn't in the vehicle. "WTF is this crap on my passenger seat?"
