#Dad Delivers #Baby At Rest Stop. Then He Pulls Out His Pocket KNIFE When He Sees The #Newborn In THAT…
——————————————When a mom-to-be and her #partner realized they would never make it to the #hospital in time, they prepared to welcome their #babyboy at a nearby rest stop.

Caitlin Vince and Tyler Olsen knew they would have to drive fast if they wanted to make it in time to the hospital, which was an hour away from their home in Hudson’s Hope, #BritishColumbia.

They were just halfway through the journey when Caitlin told Tyler to pull over at a rest stop on the winding Highway 29.

Although Caitlin made it out of the car, she immediately felt the urge to lie down on the gravel and start pushing.

The couple’s close friend, Elinor Morrisey, and two other travelers at the rest stop from Alberta ran over with blankets for the baby and held Caitlin’s hand through the difficult #birth.

It wasn’t until baby Augustus arrived that the #newparents realized he was still stuck inside the amniotic sac—a rare birth complication called “en caul.”

Fortunately, Tyler came prepared with a pocket knife and quickly cut the amniotic sac open to free Augustus from it.

Paramedics finally arrived about 25 minutes after the birth and helped Tyler cut the cord before transporting the family to the hospital.

Little Augustus Olsen was born perfectly #healthy, weighing 8 pounds, 2 ounces.
