Summary
Orange County firefighters helped Michelle Cisneros deliver daughter Valentina Isla Campbell in a Jack in the Box parking lot after the couple called 911, realizing they would not make it back to the hospital.
Two earlier discharges from nearby Hoag Hospital set up the roadside birth, Cisneros said, even after contractions tightened to three minutes apart and she was told to continue laboring at home.
About 2 miles from home, Darren Campbell pulled into the restaurant lot when Cisneros said the baby was coming; both parents said hearing Valentina cry brought immediate relief.
Several days later, the family returned home with the healthy newborn, while the parents said the experience showed expectant mothers should trust their instincts and press medical staff to listen.
