Opera singer Emily Geller Hardman had organized every detail of her pregnancy. It wasn’t supposed to include giving birth in the back seat of her car.
Hardman was about 37 weeks along in her pregnancy in May when she decided to attend a family wedding in Pennsylvania, a 3 1/2-hour ride from her home in New York.
“I was experiencing some prodromal labor, but prodromal labor can go on for weeks,” Hardman said. “I just thought, ‘What are the chances of me going into labor for that one day we were gone?'”
After dancing and spending time with friends and family at the wedding, Hardman and her husband, Travis, arrived at their hotel room around
