About this Article

Megan Martinez knew time was critical when she woke around 7:30 a.m. and realized she was in labor. What the Oswego woman never expected is that she would give birth to a baby girl less than an hour later along I-88. Martinez' husband, Chad, helped her deliver the baby at 8:27 a.m. in the back seat of the SUV. "It was a blessing and a miracle," Megan said.
