  If you know anything about giving birth, theres a tremendous amount of time between water breaking and labor. Women and encouraged to go for a meal and take a shower and rest up before the contractions get close enough so that you need to go to the hospital. So it's not like she was in an emergency situation, it really is a fun little fact that she took one more ride before realizing that she was going to give birth that day.

    It feels to me like she should have been able to rest and prepare for the birth, but instead she had to keep driving because Lyft offers no paid maternity leave for its drivers.

    Having fathered three children I can tell you the later ones come out a lot faster than the first one :-) Our midwife warned us about that and she was absolutely correct.
