Emily Johnson said her contractions started a week before her due date on Nov. 4 and added they were 10 minutes apart. Despite the hospital being five minutes away from her home in Vacaville, Johnson realized they wouldn’t make it in time after the contractions started to shrink down to one minute.
“Then the contractions went from three minutes to two minutes to one minute in a matter of 20 to 30 minutes, and we are like, ‘Oh, we got to get into the car; we have to go. I’m just like, ‘I’m going to get on the grass. ‘I’m going to be here. This is my spot.'” she explained to KCRA-TV.

She added that she was glad the ring camera didn’t fully expose her as well.
“I’m just thankful that I was facing in that direction because otherwise, I don’t think we’d be able to share the video footage with anybody,”
