Mom Gives Birth in Just 3 Minutes While Waiting For an Oil Change on Her Car

One woman just proved to be the queen of multitasking when she delivered her baby in just three minutes while waiting for an oil change on her car. Amanda Sherman was waiting with her husband, Adam, at #1 Cochran Nissan of South Hills in Pittsburgh when she excused herself to use the bathroom. She was completely unaware that she was about to meet her baby girl, Heather Lynn.

"I went to pee and then, I don't know, I was all of a sudden holding her," she told The Tribune-Review. "I hollered for help, and some woman who happened to be a registered nurse came through the doors." Adam, who was in complete shock, received instructions from a 911 operator to tie up the baby's umbilical cord and did so with his shoelace before an ambulance arrived to take Amanda and Heather to Magee-Womens Hospital of UPMC.

After meeting his wife at the hospital with their 14-month-old son, Adam attempted to process the quick turn of events. "It's a crazy new year," he said. "I'm still replaying what happened. I was talking to a service rep, and someone ran into the room shouting, 'Hey, someone's wife just gave birth!' Now the baby is here."

Both Amanda and the baby are healthy and were able to head home two days after Heather's unexpected birth. As for the dealership? "All of the sudden, I saw an ambulance pull up," said the general sales manager, Brett Lewis. "That's a first, right? We haven't had anything like this before. It's definitely something you don't see or hear every day. Everyone here really took care of them, and we still managed to sell a few cars that day."
