Olivia Jaquith, a news anchor for WRGB in Albany, expertly handled a live broadcast on Wednesday morning after her water broke shortly before going on air. Jaquith humorously shared the news with her co-anchor, Julia Dunn, in a Facebook Live segment, acknowledging her discomfort earlier and her contractions during the broadcast. Despite being two days past her due date, she kept her audience entertained with jokes while managing the news show for over three hours, showcasing remarkable endurance and professionalism in a unique situation.
"I don't know what's going on, this is my first time, I'm new here," Jaquith jokes.
"We do have some breaking news this morning. Literally, Olivia's water has broken, and she is anchoring the news now in active labor," Dunn said.
"I'm happy to be here, and I'll stay on the desk for as long as I possibly can," she said. "But if I disappear, that's what's going on."
