News Anchor Gives Birth to Baby Boy After Her Water Breaks Live on Air

A news anchor in New York made sure she finished her on-air segment — even after she realized that her water had broken on live television.

News 4’s Natalie Pasquarella was wrapping up a segment about Twitter’s new character limit towards the end of her broadcast on Tuesday night when she let out a slight giggle.

( function() { var func = function() { var iframe_form = document.getElementById('wpcom-iframe-form-5265033e4059022084ef5ec6506755a5-59cd911f994a4'); var iframe = document.getElementById('wpcom-iframe-5265033e4059022084ef5ec6506755a5-59cd911f994a4'); if ( iframe_form && iframe ) { iframe_form.submit(); iframe.onload = function() { iframe.contentWindow.postMessage( { 'msg_type': 'poll_size', 'frame_id': 'wpcom-iframe-5265033e4059022084ef5ec6506755a5-59cd911f994a4' }, window.location.protocol + '//wpcomwidgets.com' ); } } // Autosize iframe var funcSizeResponse = function( e ) { var origin = document.createElement( 'a' ); origin.href = e.origin; // Verify message origin if ( 'wpcomwidgets.com' !== origin.host ) return; // Verify message is in a format we expect if ( 'object' !== typeof e.data || undefined === e.data.msg_type ) return; switch ( e.data.msg_type ) { case 'poll_size:response': var iframe = document.getElementById( e.data._request.frame_id ); if ( iframe && '' === iframe.width ) iframe.width = '100%'; if ( iframe && '' === iframe.height ) iframe.height = parseInt( e.data.height ); return; default: return; } } if ( 'function' === typeof window.addEventListener ) { window.addEventListener( 'message', funcSizeResponse, false ); } else if ( 'function' === typeof window.attachEvent ) { window.attachEvent( 'onmessage', funcSizeResponse ); } } if (document.readyState === 'complete') { func.apply(); /* compat for infinite scroll */ } else if ( document.addEventListener ) { document.addEventListener( 'DOMContentLoaded', func, false ); } else if ( document.attachEvent ) { document.attachEvent( 'onreadystatechange', func ); } } )();

It was only after the segment was over that she told the producers her baby was on the way, according to NBC News. News 4 New York at 11’s executive producer and others at 30 Rockefeller Plaza helped get her to a hospital.

Her husband Jamin Pastore met her at the hospital and 13 hours later, her baby boy Jamin James Pastore was born at 5 pounds and 6 ounces.

The news outlet reports that the entire family is happy to meet their new son.
