The special moment was caught on camera.

A woman from Florida has shared details of her emergency garden delivery on Facebook.

Candace Marie said she initially assumed her labour pains were Braxton Hicks contractions.

When the couple left the house to go to the hospital, Candace said she felt ‘the baby’s head sliding out’ of her.

With no time to get to a hospital, Candace’s husband Tony had to deliver the baby on their front lawn.

The new mom captured the extraordinary moment on camera and shared the images on Facebook.

She explained soon after the delivery, paramedics arrived to cut the umbilical cord and bring her to the hospital.

She added that the baby boy, whom they named Gannicus Ezra is healthy and that they made it safely to the hospital.

The story has received a huge amount of attention and has been covered by various publications and even featured on the news on WBTV.
