CORUM, N.Y., Dec. 14 (UPI) -- Roshelle Ross of Center Moriches, N.Y., says she let nature take its course when she began delivering her baby in the front seat of the family car.
"I said to my husband, 'What do you mean, cross my legs?' I said, 'This baby is coming if I cross my legs or not,'" Ross, 25, said Saturday from St. Charles Hospital after the birth of her first child, Johnell McKinley Xavier Moore, Newsday reported.
Johnell arrived Friday after his father waved down Suffolk Police Officer Steven Naso.
"The driver was screaming and waving out the window, 'My wife is having a baby,' " Naso said. "He was in a panic and obviously in a rush."
Naso, 33, delivering his first baby, put down a blanket in the car and positioned the soon-to-be mother across the folded-down seats, Newsday reported Sunday, noting three pushes later and the baby slid into Naso's hands.
"I was really blessed. It was such an experience," said Ross, thanking Naso for his assistance.
