Emergency Call - mother gives birth to baby while on the way to La Crosse hospital [audio]

Posted on October 20, 2010

Expectant parents, Sara and Michael, were on their way to Gundersen Lutheran Medical Center, in La Crosse, Wisconsin, when baby Anabelle decided she was in a big hurry to greet the world. Her birth was recorded on an emergency dispatch call. Gundersen Lutheran is the region's leader in births--more than 1,500 babies are born there each year, most of them IN the hospital.
