From the time that a mother says "My water just broke," to the trip going to the hospital, the whole situation could be a blur what with the rush, adrenaline, and panic that comes with childbirth. But fact of the matter is, not everyone makes it to the hospital to give birth; and that's where emergency births come in, are the moms-to-be prepared for that scenario?

Just like in the case of the viral video going about, giving birth doesn't always happen in a hospital room, some happen in cars, homes, or tubs. So in unexpected, difficult situations like this, what are the things that should be remembered?

Right off the bat, do not panic - take comfort in the fact that giving birth in a car or at home happens every day and that it has been done. Once everyone is all calm, the couple should stop whatever it is they are doing and start prepping for birth.

Before anything else, call a hospital or one's doctor to report the emergency. When that's done, time for the actual birth, which means that mom should be comfortable. Once she is comfy, mom should only push ever so gently with the contractions, according to Robin Elise Weiss of About.com.

After enough pushing, the baby's head may be seen. The mother should then be encouraged to push the baby's head out gently, so for mothers that means trying to fight the urge to push the baby out hard, according to MyMidwife.org. When the head of the baby does appear, mom's partner should provide the baby's head with support, but whatever happens, do not pull on the baby's head - just guide it as it comes out.

When the baby comes out, its nose should be gently stroked downward so as to remove any excess mucus and amniotic fluid, but only if the baby is gagging on the fluids. After that's done, place the baby skin-to-skin on mom's chest and tummy and cover them both with dry blankets or towels. The umbilical cord should not be cut or pulled.

The hard part is now over. The only thing to do now is to keep both mom and the baby safe until medical assistance or a practitioner arrives, or to actually get to the hospital.

Not so Bad After All

With the viral video of the mom giving birth in the car and the fact that it happens every day, the whole ordeal might not sound so bad. In fact, not giving birth in the hospital is actually recommended by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, reported DailyMail.co.uk.

As many as a third of all women should give birth without a doctor, according to the RCOG's report. This is because leading medical experts said that mothers should be given more opportunity to have babies at home, because maternity wards are not necessarily a safer option.

The report went on to say that the only ones who should give birth in a hospital are the women who are at risk of suffering complications - those who are expecting twins or triplets, who are obese, diabetic, or those who are in their 40s.

Here is the viral video of the woman who got birth in the car.
