Mom shares story about time she gave birth in airport bathroom 5 minutes before liftoff

Heather Jackson was 29 weeks deep into her pregnancy as she stood in Settle’s busy airport all set for a big move.

With her toddler, husband, and pets in tow, they were embarking on a cross-country journey from Washington to Kentucky.

It was a bold move, especially considering her husband’s impending Navy deployment.
The day had already been a whirlwind of packing and managing a restless toddler, but nothing could have prepared Heather for what was about to happen.

So, naturally, while checking in and managing their luggage, Heather felt a sudden “urge”.

She shot straight with her friend and said, “Katie, I really need to poop.”

What neither of them realized was that the urge was a prelude to an extraordinary event.
After making it through the tedious security line, Heather’s discomfort intensified, signaling that something was amiss.

She shot straight with her friend and said, “Katie, I really need to poop.”

What neither of them realized was that the urge was a prelude to an extraordinary event.
After making it through the tedious security line, Heather’s discomfort intensified, signaling that something was amiss.

Clutching her stomach, Heather’s situation quickly escalated from uncomfortable to urgent.

“There’s no way I am going to make it 6 hours on this flight,” she exclaimed to her husband, Billy.

His encouragement, which Heather likens to a coach pep-talking a player in a crucial game, couldn’t mask the seriousness of the moment.

Heather knew it was time for an ambulance.

In a frantic rush, Heather approached the airline staff for help.

“I need you to call an ambulance, I think I am in labor,” she said, her voice laced with urgency.
The staff member, taken aback, quickly dialed for assistance.

Heather, meanwhile, attempted to return to the restroom, only to find it closed for cleaning.

In her state of distress, she couldn’t hold back her frustration

As firefighters arrived, Heather, supported by her husband, made her way to the family restroom, just minutes before their flight’s boarding time.

Inside, a firefighter inquired about her pregnancy. It was then that Heather realized the baby was coming.

“Oh my God, he’s coming,” she cried out, feeling the baby’s head.
In a moment of sheer panic, Heather stood up, hoping to catch her newborn, but he slipped out and landed in the toilet.

The scene that followed was chaotic yet miraculous.
Heather, lying on the floor, watched as the firefighter swiftly rescued her son from the toilet and wrapped him in blankets.

The relief was palpable when she heard her baby’s tiny squeal.
Billy, peeking into the restroom, was a picture of mixed emotions.

In the aftermath, the family, along with their pets, were transported to the hospital.
Amidst the commotion, their dog, having escaped his carrier, added a touch of comic relief to the tense situation.

While Heather’s newborn son was being cared for in the NICU, the family received reassuring news about his health.

This unusual birth story quickly made the Johnsons the talk of the airport.

Heather learned that while it’s rare for babies to be born at airports, her son was one of the few exceptions.

Wyatt Dale, born at just over 3 pounds, had made a dramatic but safe entry into the world.
