However, the woman barely made it into the ambulance when her baby girl decided she wanted to make an appearance into the world.

Firefighter Tom Baker was celebrating his own birthday that day – but it soon became clear he was about to share a birthday with a new little one – they had to deliver the baby right then and there.

Mom and baby were then taken to Good Samaritan Medical Center in Brockton and are doing well.
