Pennsylvania woman gives birth during auto shop oil change
DORMONT (AP) – Some auto shops offer 10-minute oil change service. That still would have been about seven minutes too long for a Pennsylvania woman who gave birth while the oil in her husband’s pickup was being changed at a suburban Pittsburgh auto dealership.
Amanda Sherman and her husband, Adam, tell the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review that Amanda gave birth when she went to the restroom at #1 Cochran Nissan of South Hills on Monday.
The couple is from Harrisville, Butler County, about 60 miles north of the dealership.
Amanda Sherman says another customer, who happened to be a registered nurse, and the dealership’s staff helped her, while a 911 dispatcher talked Adam through tying off the baby’s umbilical cord with his bootlace.
An ambulance took Amanda and 7-pound-12-ounce Heather Lynn to a Pittsburgh hospital, where they were released Wednesday.
