Jenna Harper, the hilarious mind behind the satirical site Quirk & Quill, recently shared her unforgettable experience of giving birth in the backseat of her car on the way to the hospital. Just two days ago, she found herself in a situation that many expectant mothers joke about but rarely anticipate.
A Wild Ride to the Hospital
In a chat with Funny Parents, Jenna recounted the wild ride to the hospital. “The contractions were shorter and less intense than I thought they should be, so I figured we had time,” she shared. “But as soon as my doula arrived, my water broke, and things escalated quickly. We didn’t make it far down the street! I was just relieved that it was over, even if it was in a car.”
After her daughter’s entrance into the world, Jenna was transported to the hospital via ambulance, where both mother and baby received a clean bill of health. She later shared an amusing photo of herself and her newborn in the car, jokingly tagging Honda for a new vehicle. “I honestly didn’t expect it to blow up like this,” she said. “And I was surprised that some people took my comment so seriously!”
Internet Reactions
As a comedian, Jenna is known for her humor, yet some internet trolls completely missed the joke. One user deemed giving birth “silly,” while another seemed to believe women in labor could simply hold their babies in like they were waiting for the restroom. Others offered unsolicited “advice” on how to handle such situations, proving once again that the internet can be a minefield of misunderstandings.
Amidst the negativity, however, many people responded with congratulations and support. Even better, Honda took notice and offered to clean Jenna’s car, replace the back seat, and provide a loaner vehicle while they worked on it. What an incredible way to turn a chaotic birth into a memorable story!
