At around 2am yesterday, volunteer staff from the Poh Teck Tung Foundation received a report of a woman giving birth in a pickup truck on Tiwanon Road, near the Amphornphisarn intersection in Bang Phut Subdistrict, Pak Kret District, Nonthaburi. The emergency team quickly arrived at the location to provide assistance reports Sanook.

 

Upon arriving at the scene, they found a black Toyota Hilux Revo, license plate number 8K.6764 Bangkok. In the backseat of the vehicle, they found a Laotian woman identified as Xem, who had just given birth to a baby boy. Her husband, Phakphum, 22 years old, a general worker, was in good spirits but was taken aback by the in-car birth. The Poh Teck Tung Foundation team then hurriedly transported the mother and the newborn to the Irrigation Department Hospital in Pak Kret.

Yeah, like I can’t figure out why the license plate number is so important in the article TIT

friend of mine in Europe was born on the field where the mother was picking potatoes.
Normally a child birth is something natural that women can do pretty good, like every other mammal....It is not a terrible dangerous emergency that can't be done without a doctor.

Does the hospital use water beds?
