Wesley Chapel mom delivers baby in back seat en route to hospital

WESLEY CHAPEL (FOX 13) - Baby Nyla Grace was born Tuesday a little bit early, making for an amazing story.

Michelle Caston knew her baby girl was on the way, so like any expecting mother, she and her husband hopped in the car and headed to the hospital.

Nyla Grace had other plans.

"By the time we got in the car, my water broke within a mile from the house. I just had to deliver her," Caston recalled.  

Still in Wesley Chapel, miles away from Florida Hospital, Caston prepared to deliver her baby in the backseat.

"I really didn't know what to do. I was calling everybody to figure out what could I do," father Nathanial Knox said.

But nature took over and little Nyla Grace came into the world. 

"She was fine. She cried a little and she was, like, alright," Caston said.

Clinical specialist Tricia Walton and her team greeted the family in the hospital parking lot.

"We have whats called a Code Noel that gets the entire team here quickly," Walton said. "The baby was doing fantastic... It was a beautiful situation. Mom and baby are healthy."

In another twist, one of Nyla Grace's three brothers was also born in the car, on the way to the hospital, years earlier.

"It is pretty cool. I'm just a fast laborer. I don't know what it is," said Caston.
