Rank #161: Annette Lerner and family (Chevy Chase)
Mother and son are both doing well and resting at Holy Cross Hospital in Germantown after she delivered her own baby on the way to the hospital late Wednesday night. We caught up with the family who told us that “things just kind of progressed quickly on the ride to the hospital” and the baby boy was born on the road leading up to the emergency room entrance just before midnight.
“At one point we were going to go to Shady Grove, which was a couple minutes closer, but she thought we could make it to Germantown.” the shocked father told us. As soon as the family turned onto Observation Dr., where the hospital is located, the baby decided it was time to make an appearance. In the minute or so that it took to get to the emergency room entrance, which was the only entrance open due to the time, the baby was born with mother holding him as hospital staff came out to meet her.
