Dramatic Photos Capture The Moment A Mother-Of-Six Gave Birth In A Hospital Corridor

We all hope to have a safe and easy delivery.

But for Jesica Hogan when her baby boy wanted to come out there was no stopping him!

Incredible images show the mother of six giving birth to her youngest child in a hospital corridor.

Jesica bravely welcomed her fifth child Max in July last year when she arrived too late to make it to a bed.

She has just opened up about her dramatic birth story in a new video shared by her photographer Tammy Karin.

Jesica gave birth at the Via Christi Hospital in Manhattan, Kansas.

But the mom had contractions for several days before Max’s birth but didn’t go into labor.

She and her husband Travis even went to the hospital, but ended up coming home.

‘I was losing faith in my ability to tell when I would actually be in labor, and losing faith that my body knew what it was doing,’ she explained in a blog post on Tammy‘s website.

Eventually, one night, Jesica started having contractions. But because of past experience didn’t think they would amount to anything.

She even told her husband that she believed her labor would need to be induced.

Jesica wouldn’t realize she was in the early stages of giving birth until it was too late.

‘I stayed awake contracting, yet again, until about 2 am.’

‘It was at that time that I wrote to a group of other expectant and fellow moms, complaining of those very same contractions and my fears of not making it to the hospital in time,’ Jesica added.

‘Oh that intuition is real, if only I had given some credit to that voice in the back of my head that night!’

‘Instead I finally decided that I would just drift off to sleep for a bit, assuring myself that I would know when it was time.’

Jesica’s contractions increased, prompting her to tell Travis: ‘I think this is it.’

At that point, the mom-to-be felt her water break and worried she and Travis wouldn’t make it to the hospital on time.

Her husband calmly drove her to the hospital around 3 am. But things escalated so quickly, Jesica didn’t even have time to put shoes on.

On the way to the hospital, the mom felt the baby moving down every time she had a contraction.

When Travis pulled up to the hospital, no one came out.

So the dedicated father ran around the car to help his wife get out of the vehicle.

‘I told him Baby was almost there. I also said I couldn’t get out, I felt as if Baby was ready to emerge. That feeling made it nearly impossible to move,’ Jesica added.

‘He disappeared for a moment into the E.R. doors. I tried to maneuver out of the passenger seat so I could somehow walk inside in the few seconds break I had between contractions.’

Tammy arrived to the hospital right at that time to capture the birth.

‘I made it just past the second set of automatic doors, into the next hall, which luckily was not carpeted like the one we had just stepped out of,’ Jesica wrote.

‘I know at this point I said something to the effect of, “Oh God, he’s here.” I then started to take my pants off because I could feel my body pushing the baby’s head out.

‘I reached down and could feel his head crowning with my hand. I looked at my husband and said, “Travis catch him!”

‘Without any hesitation he did just that as I felt my body involuntarily pushing his head the rest of the way out.’

Nurses ran down the hall to help Jesica with the rest of the birth, helping the mother lie down in the corridor and telling her to push.

‘With one more push as instructed by the nurse, and the only intentional push I gave, I felt the rest of his body come out,’ Jesica said of Max – her only son.
