Washington: Attention all reader, you guys must have heard about babies getting delivered in flights and in trains very frequently but today we are going to tell you about one such incident that will leave you in weird state as a female radio jockey based in US delivered baby during her live program show.
Uncommon childbirth stories have often beautifully chronicled how miracles can happen anytime, anywhere.
Recall when a doctor mom paused her own delivery to help another pregnant lady, or the woman who delivered her child mid-air on a flight?
Though, have you ever heard childbirth live on air? But recently, a radio jockey broadcasted her birth by Caesarean section on Tuesday i.e February 20th in the US.
RJ Cassiday Proctor, a morning presenter on The Arch station of St Louis went into early labour during her show on Monday.
She was later shifted to a hospital but the station worked with the hospital, where she was due to deliver her baby so that it could be broadcasted on air.

Proctor later said it was ‘spur-of-the-moment’ decision. “It was amazing to be able to share the most exciting day of my life with our radio listeners.”
She told international news channel by describing the memorable and unusual experience, new mommy added that it was “an extension of what I already do every day on our radio show as I share all aspects of my life with the listeners.”
And not just the delivery, Proctor also gave her listeners a chance to name the little one.
The proud parents had selected twelve names and it was put up for voting.
The listeners finally chose Jameson as the baby’s name. “Twelve silly names and twelve names chosen by the couple competed for one slot.”
“We kept voting until we got to Jameson,” programme director, Scott Roddy, told a local daily.
The child, who weighed over seven pounds is healthy, and now the host is on her maternity leave.
