When Lesia and John Pettijohn got into their car to head to the hospital, they thought they had time to spare before their third child was born. But as you could've probably assumed by where that sentence was heading, they were dead wrong.

About 45 minutes into their drive to the Bay Area Birth Center in Pasadena,Texas, Lesia went into labor and gave birth to their first son, Josiah. The labor, which lasted only an astounding minute and a half, was captured on a GoPro John had set up prior to the drive.

It starts with some subtitle commentary, explaining they've already been in the car for 45 minutes.

Then things quickly take a dramatic turn, as Lesia can feel her contractions.

Not long after, her water breaks, and immediately, they both realize that they won't be making it to the hospital in time.

Then, in a matter of a minute, Josiah begins to come out.

And just like that, their first son is born.

High fives for successful car births!

â€œThe only reason I would pull over is if there is something wrong that needed to be dealt with immediately,â€ Jonathan toldÂ KHOU. Wife Lesia added,Â â€œI was probably freaking out way more than I should have. But I really didnâ€™t want to have him in the car. I was scared. I didnâ€™t know if heâ€™d be breathing OK or if he would need anything else.â€
