Pregnant anchor’s water breaks before she hosts the morning news, and she keeps on going

On May 21, Olivia Jaquith, an anchor at WRGB in Albany, New York, continued to deliver breaking news on-air moments after her water broke, opting to stay at the desk during her early labor. Co-anchor Julia Dunn highlighted the situation, noting Jaquith’s contractions were two minutes apart, while the broadcast featured playful references to Jaquith’s impending motherhood. Jaquith humorously remarked she preferred being at work over the hospital, anchoring for three hours before concluding the show with a farewell to viewers.
