News anchor welcomes baby boy into the world after brave act when her WATER BROKE live on air
A New York news anchor delivered more than just the headlines on Wednesday, giving birth to a baby boy just hours after bravely anchoring an entire broadcast while in active labor. CBS 6 Albany's Olivia Jaquith went into labor around 4:15 a.m. - just 15 minutes before the morning show began. Despite her water breaking, the courageous mom-to-be took her seat at the anchor desk without hesitation. Jaquith announced on Instagram on Saturday that she gave birth to a healthy baby boy named Quincy - her first child with husband Tyn. She smiled as she cradled her newborn from her hospital bed as fans sent their congratulations to the new mother. Before the fateful broadcast began last week, Jaquith's co-anchor, Julia Dunn - who is also pregnant - went live on Facebook to share the surprising news. Then, as the show kicked off, the two expectant moms informed viewers that Jaquith was on air while in labor. 'We do have some breaking news this morning, literally. Olivia's water has broke and she is anchoring the news now in active labor,' Dunn said. 'Early labor, let's not get carried away,' Jaquith chimed in. 'I'm happy to be here and I'll stay on the desk as long as I possibly can, but if I disappear that's what's going on.' The newscast displayed an alert at the top of the screen that said, 'DAYS PAST DUE DATE: 2' and 'Time Olivia's Water Broke: 4:15 a.m.' with the live clock under it. Dunn said they were monitoring Jaquith's contractions and they were approximately two minutes apart. 'No, well, there was one, but it's been a few minutes since then, so we're still in good shape,' Jaquith said. On Dunn's livestream, Jaquith explained that her water broke while she was in the studio bathroom. 'I think I can get through a three-hour show,' she told her co-host. Throughout the show the news team made cheeky references to Jaquith's labor status. 'If my baby does come today, Craig, how's the weather?' Jaquith asked the meteorologist. During the 'coffee break' segment of the show, Jaquith joked that viewers take a 'water break.' A shot from the control showed a producer holding up a sign that read, 'Go 2 The Hospital!' When Jaquith and Dunn kicked off the 7 a.m. hour of the show, the women filled in the audience on the development. 'Olivia's water broke, and she's still here. She's been doing the entire show,' Dunn said. 'This is her decision to do this.' 'I'd rather be at work than at the hospital,' Jaquith replied. When the show wrapped up just before 8 a.m. producers ran a banner across the screen that read, 'Here comes Baby P, Good Luck Olivia. You Rock We Love You.' 'Alright, well, hopefully I don't see you tomorrow,' Jaquith said as she closed out the program. Jaquith's colleagues praised her professionalism and called her desired to finish the show inspiring. 'We couldn't be more thrilled for them. From her on-air pregnancy announcement earlier this year to running a half-marathon while expecting, Olivia has met every stage of this journey with grace and grit. Today was no exception,' said News Director Stone Grissom.
