Pregnant anchor Natalie Pasquarella was delivering her nightly news segment on NBC News 4 New York when her water water broke on air.

NATALIE PASQUARELLA’S WATER BREAKS DURING LIVE NEWS SEGMENT

The 35-year-old gave birth to a baby boy shortly after. She had joined her co-hosts for the 11 p.m. news, where she let out a quick laugh, and then waited for the newscast to end before sharing what had happened. “That little laugh, that was the moment Natalie’s water broke,” said a co-anchor told the New York Daily News. “Live on this set, live on this air. As a true professional, Natalie calmly finished the newscast and then she went to the hospital.”

Nearly 13 hours later, Pasquarella was a new mom to a healthy baby boy, apparently about a month before he was due. “A beautiful blessing decided to make his entrance early! Thankful for all the well wishes. Our hearts are full! #BabyJ #JaminJames #SoInLove #babyboy #love,” wrote the anchor alongside a photo of the new addition to her family with husband Jamin Pastore.

The new baby, Jamin James Pastore, weighed in at five pounds, six ounces, and 19 inches long.
