Mom delivers baby on side of Florida road
A "miracle baby" was born on the side of a Florida road and his mother was thankful to have her "doula" accompanying her in the car when she went into labor.
A "miracle baby" was born on the side of a Florida road and his mother was thankful to have her "doula" accompanying her in the car when she went into labor.
For those unfamiliar with the term, a doula is described as "a trained professional who provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to their client before, during, and shortly after childbirth," according to the doula training and certification organization DONA International.
The Palm Coast mother, Isis Maurice, thought she might be going into labor early, so she and her doula were on the way to the hospital. However, her baby boy, Akovi, couldn't wait to enter the world and was delivered on the side of the road.
Doula Tabatha Seppala was driving Isis to the hospital when Isis felt like Avoki was coming. They pulled over at 1:48 p.m. Sunday, and by 1:54 p.m., he was born.

Reaction to arrest of accused Eustis groper
Eustis police officers sectioned off a home on Marietta Lane late Thursday, as the investigation of a man accused of attacking three women continued.
Jephson Seguin, 20, was brought into custody earlier in the day after his mother made a call to police, wanting to discuss the case. Shortly after officers arrived on the scene, Seguin allegedly tried to run but was captured. Eustis Police Captain Jon Fahning held a press conference on the arrest shortly after.
"Arresting him this early in his criminal career is certainly the best case for everybody," he said. "Our community is now safe from this individual." Seguin is accused of violently forcing himself onto women on three separate occasions. The alleged incidents stem back to April.
On Tuesday night, police responded to Morningview Drive following reports of a man who groped a woman and threw her to the ground. After gathering surveillance footage from neighbors, a connection was made and the search for Seguin continued.
