Episode 13: Giving Birth in a Car with Rachel McNamara

Welcome to Kids Pod, a podcast where kids get to ask adults the questions they really want to know. Nothing is too rude to ask. You send in the questions and our adults will give kids the answers they want to hear. Seven years ago Rachel McNamara was pregnant with her first baby. She was driving to the hospital to give birth when the baby decided she couldn't wait any longer and out she came! First you will hear the real recordings of the emergency call Rachel's partner had to make as the baby was arriving. Don't worry, the baby and Rachel and her partner were all fine. Then Rachel is going to tell us all about whether the car got messy and how she gave birth without any doctors or midwives to help her. And in case you are wondering, yes the family are still driving around in the car. Kids Pod was created by Aimee Chan. Intro by Niki Strauss. Cover art by Glen Strauss. Narration by Harry Phillips.
