A WOMAN has recalled the moment she delivered her mother-in-law’s surprise baby when she started crowning in the bath.
Brooklyn Pennington, who is from the US, took to TikTok and explained that she received a call from her father-in-law saying her mother-in-law had been in the bathtub in pain since 2am.
Just a few hours later, Brooklyn rushed over and helped to deliver the baby which no one knew about.
In a second video, Brooklyn was joined by her mother-in-law Jennifer Lynn, 37, who recalled: “So it started on a Thursday night.”
“I went to bed and felt very uncomfortable. I couldn’t get any sleep or anything, so it was like 2am in the morning, I got up and was walking around, kept going into the bathroom thinking that I had to pee.”
It was going on for a while, I had cramps and was thinking that maybe my underwear was too tight, so I went and changed my underwear and was still having the cramps.”

It was about 5-5.30ish. I looked in the bathtub and thought, ‘do you know what? I’m going to fill those up and I’m just going to lay in it.'”
Brooklyn then takes over the story time and continues: “My father-in-law gives me a call at like 2am in the morning.”

He’s like, ‘hey I’m about to take Jenn to the ER…she’s been in the bathtub since 2am in the morning complaining of labour pains.
I was like, ‘oh my gosh we’re about to have a f****ing baby’ because she’s had other kids so she knows what labour pains feel like.”

He ends up picking us up because the weather was way too bad for me to drive over there…I got there and get to the bathroom and knock on the door and I’m like, ‘hey Jenn, is everything OK in here?’ And she’s like, ‘no, I’m having a baby.'”
“I’m still not believing her at this point, so I opened the shower curtain and said, ‘can I check you?'”
I check her and she’s crowning. I run out to the garage and get my husband and father-in-law and I’m like, ‘hey she’s crowning, you guys need to get in here.'”
“Maybe three pushes I get back to the bathroom and he’s here. I delivered him, he was perfectly healthy 7lb 12oz and it’s been a month since he’s been here and he’s been healthy ever since.”
The post, which has since garnered 5 million views, was inundated with comments from social media users.
“Aww you delivered your brother-in-law!!!” wrote one.
A second penned: “She’s the same age as me and I DO NOT claim this energy… congratulations though.”
