Baby Born in CU Parking Lot

MINNEAPOLIS – Call it a new addition to the credit union family. A woman gave birth in the parking lot of City County FCU Monday after her mother stopped by to withdraw cash. “I went in to get some cash; next thing I know my daughter’s on all fours,” said Jody Hall, who delivered her daughter’s baby boy right there in the parking lot. Hall and her daughter, Kanisha Hall-Poston had sent the previous three hours at Abbott Northwestern Hospital trying to induce the delivery, but were sent home by doctors when the baby wouldn’t cooperate. On their way home the soon-to-be grandma had to stop to get cash from her credit union. When she returned to her waiting daughter the baby was on his way. A friend who had accompanied the mother and daughter to the hospital called 911, but the paramedics were too late to aid the delivery. Mother and newborn son, Elijah, were fine yesterday and were enjoying the first moments together.
