In a live interview taken by @WGN9, the couple shared their thrilling story. Ashwin said that they are still laughing over it, but it was unbelievable. The wife reported that around 5 in the morning, she started having contractions but ignored them for the time being.
Later, at 8:30, they started leaving for the hospital. In the mid-way, around Michigan Avenue, near Tribune Towers, the husband pulled the car as the contraction grew worse. She said that something was really coming out of her. When he reached out, he could feel the head of the baby, and he pulled it out gently.
The husband quickly called 911 and paramedics. The medical staff assisted them further and stabilized the baby. They took the baby and the mother to the NICU hospital. The baby was kept under observation on Oxygen and IV support for 24 hours and was discharged after three days.
