Ohio Woman Gets Married, has Baby on Same Day

SYLVANIA, Ohio – An Ohio woman taken to a maternity ward in her wedding dress became a newlywed and a new mom on the same day.

Jamie Phillips says she felt contractions while her father walked her down the aisle during her wedding ceremony Saturday in Toledo in northwest Ohio, but she thought it was a false alarm. It wasn't until after her water broke at the reception that she was rushed to a hospital in Sylvania.

The baby boy, named Tova, wasn't due until March 7. His mother and her new husband, Mark Phillips, didn't think the baby would come quite so soon when they planned the wedding two weeks earlier.

The parents say they wanted to "do the right thing" and get married before the baby's arrival, which is why they cut things so close.

And Public toilets are few & far between!

& Sometimes(esp the Betrol station washrooms) in a desperate state of disrepair!

What to do

Wear Diapers.

It would not be a bad idea to wear adult diapers.

Lately, you have to wait for a long time for everything in long Ques in Doha.

I broke water one time. Becuase I was waiting on que to use the toilet in center city mall and could not hold anymore my urine, so I piss in the corner of the toilet, the poor Arab next door did not not see it coming my small river wetting his dear white dress. I walked away stealthfully.

Will save a lot of money over the years, only one party instead of two.

The husband has one less date to remember as well.
