BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — The story of a Birmingham mom delivering her baby at home in the middle of Alabama’s winter storm is spreading across the nation.
Darshay Jones managed to avoid the icy mess on Tuesday by staying at home. Her baby wasn’t due until Valentine’s Day, so when contractions started around midnight, she thought it was false labor. But when they got stronger, she alerted her boyfriend and called 9-1-1.
Thirty minutes later, the ambulance still hadn’t shown up at her east Birmingham home, so she called back. She was told that the ambulance had wrecked on the icy roads and couldn’t reach her.
