Some babies are just too impatient — a lesson that Chloe Capps of McKinney, Texas, learned when her baby just couldn’t “park it,” and was determined to be born right there in the hospital parking lot.
The day started for Chloe like most normal days. She was at work when she felt like she might be having some cramps. She wasn’t due until later in December — the 19th — so she felt it was still a little early. Those cramps intensified, and that’s when she knew.
“I was at work,” Capps told local ABC news affiliate WFAA. “I started what I thought was cramping but they were contractions, and I had called my mom.”
Things were moving faster than expected, and Chloe’s mother Debbie Glynn called ahead to the Medical City McKinney Hospital, while Chloe’s manager drove her there.
Glynn hurried to the hospital as fast as she could, and as soon as she arrived saw a commotion.
“I parked very far away, was running across the parking lot and see the truck, see the swarm of staff,” said Glynn.
They were ready for Chloe, and it’s a good thing, because Chloe’s baby was even more ready than they were. As they went to help Chloe who had just pulled into the Emergency Room drive-up, she gestured that she wasn’t going anywhere.
“She gives me the like, ‘no, I need to get this baby out right now,’” said Jayde Warren, a registered nurse at the hospital.
There’s just no stopping a baby who’s ready to arrive.

“I tried to hold her in to get into the hospital, but I guess with me stressing a little bit […] She was ready to come,” said Capps.
Glynn rushed towards the scene as soon as she arrived, just in time to meet her granddaughter. “I arrived at 11:11 and she was born at 11:15,” said Glynn.
Suddenly and all at once, right outside the hospital door, all 6 pounds 15 ounces of baby girl Navy was born.
“It seemed like a scene from a movie. It was a little surreal,” said Glynn.
But for hospital workers, it was just another day — albeit an exciting one. They’ve seen a few not-quite-in-the-hospital births and were well-equipped to handle it.
“We’ve made ourselves more prepared for this to happen,” nurse Warren said, according to People. “We have an OB kit, and we make sure that we’ve got the baby warmer plugged in so that if anything were to happen, we’ve got the stuff there.”
Finally, after all the excitement and all the routine that comes with having a baby, things settled down, and Chloe was able to bask in the glow of new motherhood in a quiet moment.
“When everybody left yesterday and I was just in here alone,” she said, “I was crying, but it was just happy tears.”
