Actress Troian Bellisario recalled being forced to give birth to her second child in her car during a recent episode of the podcast “Katie’s Crib.”
Bellisario claimed she wasn’t in “panic mode” during labor this time around because she spent 26 hours in labor with her first child, Page Six noted Thursday. The couple had a different experience with labor the second time around.

“As soon as I hit the button and get the [parking] ticket, she’s screaming,” husband Patrick J. Adams said during the episode. “I whip around, and by the time I turn my head around, Troian is fully on her hands and knees and we’ve gone nuclear.”
“I get up to the [hospital security guard] and I say, ‘It’s all happening, in the car. You need to get the wheelchair down here, you need to get the people, all the people, all the professionals! It’s happening!'”
Meanwhile, Bellisario had gotten on her hands and knees in the vehicle and prepared to give birth.
“So she is still on all fours, butt facing the windshield,” Adams reportedly said. “Her butt’s at my head level, so I just go and pull down her pants and [the baby’s] head is right there.”
Adams said he delivered their baby on his own after Bellisario pushed for three minutes.
“I just look over my shoulder, because I’m still on all fours … and I see Patrick holding her upside down, and she’s wailing, so I was like, ‘She’s alive, she’s OK. She’s breathing,'” Bellisario added.
