A woman gave birth alone on her bathroom floor in just 45 minutes - before her husband had a chance to set up the birthing pool.
Teagan Swoboda, 36, woke up up on August 11, 2024, at 5:45am experiencing contractions.
She went to the bathroom to time them and woke her husband up 15 minutes later.
Tony Swoboda, 41, went downstairs to set up the home birth equipment.

So everyone keeps asking me to do like a story time or update on the birth. First
00:06
and foremost the baby is fine and breathing. It's wild to me that people
00:14
even question that. But everybody wants a story time but I honestly am barely
00:21
processing the birth myself. It was my fifth baby, my first girl and I had a
00:30
very very rough like last two and a half weeks of the pregnancy. I was in a lot of
00:37
pain. I was having contractions non-stop and I couldn't walk. I was in bed for the
00:43
last two weeks and literally I was just like in a cycle of crying myself to
00:48
sleep every like three hours and I was like contemplating as I do I just go to
00:56
the hospital and get induced even though that's I have like other trauma with
01:00
that. So I was just like I don't want to be in labor and bring her into the world
01:07
with me in so much pain and so it's just a cycle of me just crying myself to
01:12
sleep for like two and a half weeks. And so I know I will never ever ever have
01:21
another kid. I mean I say that but we weren't planning on this one either so
01:27
yeah so it's kind of me grieving the the birth that I had planned. The perfect
01:35
birth that I planned. Everybody asks you know how how did he not hear you or how
01:42
did he miss the birth? Yeah it was my own fault because I had a birth plan
01:47
that wasn't a page long. I have four kids and each of them had jobs on my birth
01:54
plan so they were all downstairs preparing the perfect birth for me. So
01:59
yeah everybody calling my husband a terrible person and all of that that's
02:04
fantastic because he was literally like going out of his way for me which is I've
02:10
learned like the internet is a terrible place. I always tell my like boys
02:15
anything worth saying is worth saying with kindness and y'all are nasty people.
02:24
Yeah so it's it's been a lot. It's been a whirlwind. I'm I'll probably sit down
02:31
and maybe maybe now so I've got a few minutes kind of go down and do like a
02:39
break it up into parts so that like everybody can know what happened and how
02:45
it happened but yeah like try and post your questions and I'll try and follow
02:49
along and kind of answer all of those. We'll see but to sum it up baby is just
02:59
fine.
