Mom Delivers Baby & Doctoral Dissertation On The Same Day!

Expecting mother delivers baby in car just hours before she earned her Ph.D.

NEW JERSEY (WABC) — This Mother’s Day will be especially poignant for a New Jersey woman who will not only celebrate being a mom, but also becoming a doctor.

Tamiah Brevard-Rodriguez was working on her doctoral dissertation presentation from Rutgers when she went into labor on March 25.

She was only eight months pregnant and was scheduled to deliver her dissertation defense that day.

“I was physically prepared for a pregnancy, mentally my brain was not on a baby,” she said. “So I was having a very emotional response to knowing I was in labor, knowing I had this defense. I was literally shaking.”

We never know what life will expect of us!
