Pregnant news anchor goes into labor on live TV as coworker cries ‘her water broke!’ – she didn’t leave set for HOURS

A NEWS anchor decided to continue working right after her water broke right before she went live on air.

Jaquith was just about to host her show on local CBS affiliate WRGB when she shocked her colleagues by going into labor.

Co-anchor Julia Dunn started off the newscast saying, “We do have some breaking news this morning, literally.

“Olivia’s water has broke and she is anchoring the news now in active labor.”

“Early labor,” Jaquith chimed in.

The host said she had one contraction beforehand, but brushed off Dunn’s suggestion that she should go home.

“It’s been a few minutes since then, so we’re still in good shape,” the soon-to-be-mother said.

“Her decision to stay on the desk by the way,” Dunn added.

The two hosts then pointed to the upper right-hand corner of the screen, where a red box read “Days past due date: 2.”

Jaquith first announced her pregnancy in February after running the Disney Princess half-marathon with her sister.

“Well, I’m happy to be here and I’ll stay on the desk for as long as I can,” Jaquith said.

Off-air, Dunn shared a video on Facebook of the expecting mother going into labor.

“Guys, this isn’t April Fools. Olivia’s water broke in the newsroom,” she said in shock.

Dunn then passed the phone to a confused but excited Jaquith and asked her to fill in the viewers on what’s going on.

“I don’t know what’s going on, this is my first time. I’m new here,” she laughed.

“Yesterday I was getting cramps when I was on the desk and I didn’t really think anything of it…this morning I got up to go pee, but then stuff just kept coming out.”

After explaining how Jaquith found out she was going into labor, Dunn asked her co-host why she decided to stay at work.

“I think I could get through a three-hour show,” Jaquith replied as she typed on her computer.

The two anchors continued laughing as Dunn told viewers that they should watch the news to support the expecting mother.

News Director Stone Grissom said the station “couldn’t be more thrilled” for Jaquith.

“From her on-air pregnancy announcement earlier this year to running a half-marathon while expecting, Olivia has met every stage of this journey with grace and grit. Today was no exception,” Grissom told WRGB.

“Olivia’s passion for storytelling, love for her hometown, and commitment to our viewers have always been evident. We’re overjoyed to soon welcome our newest (and tiniest!) member.”

Jaquith is expecting a 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 boy with her husband, Tyn.
