Kari’s unbelievable birth story

Kari Stern: A lot of people think that I am, making up some of these details, and I could not possibly have made this up if I wanted. he was born, in the front seat of my car, in the parking lot of the coroner’s office. And the whole family was in tow.

Andrea Marie: We are Moms Unhinged, a nationally touring standup comedy show. Join us in our podcast as we explore everything from motherhood, midlife, crisis, marriage, divorce, online dating, menopause, and other things that irritate us.

Hello, everyone, and welcome to Moms Unhinged, the podcast. And I am joined today by the amazing, the wonderful Kari Stern. Welcome, Kari.

Kari Stern: Thank you. Thank you for having me. I’m really excited to do this.

Andrea Marie: Yeah. Yeah, excited to have you [00:01:00] on. Super fun. Kari is one of our Denver-based comedians.

Having a third baby after a 7-year gap

Andrea Marie: She is a mom of three. Wow, three.

Kari Stern: I can’t believe it either.

Andrea Marie: that’s a lot. That’s a lot. So remind me again of the ages of your kids.

Kari Stern: Yes. I have nine, seven, and eight months.

Andrea Marie: Wow. Yeah, that’s a big gap.

Kari Stern: It is a big gap, yeah. A lot of questions were asked.

Andrea Marie: Yeah, I’m sure. Like people are so nosy. They’re like, and that’s immediately the question that popped into my mind. So I think you’re gonna have to answer it for our listeners.

Kari Stern: Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Yes, we planned it, mostly. You know, it was, “we’d like to have a third. Wouldn’t that be fun? “

Yeah.

The universe really delivered on that one, so here we are.

Andrea Marie: And it is kind of this weird thing because I toyed with it as well, and my husband was like, “No, [00:02:00] I don’t…” And I was like, “Okay.” And it’s this weird thing where all of a sudden the window is closing and you’re like, “Oh, God, sh-” you know? And I do have a lot of friends who have that big age gap in their third ’cause it was like either, you know, life, all that stuff, so many things.

And, you know, they just, it’s fun. It’s fun.

How older kids adjusted to a new baby

Andrea Marie: How did your older kids, feel?

Kari Stern: They were very excited. I think something that people don’t talk about is when your kids are older and you’re all of a sudden, you know, pregnant having a third, it brings up a lot of questions that younger kids don’t ask.

So in a lot of ways, this has matured them. But I think in like-

Oh God. They’re like, “Oh God, is that how it happens? What?”

Yes. But in like some, like really sweet ways to see them actually, you know, they’re so like [00:03:00] nurturing of the baby, and love the baby, and, you know, I try not to put responsibility on them, but they want to take it.

Andrea Marie: They’re not babysitting yet.

Kari Stern: Like, “I will change the bum.” “I’m just gonna, just… We go to dinner?”

Andrea Marie: I’m gonna head out.

Kari Stern: Yeah.

But it’s really sweet to see, you know, these like softer sides come out of my older kids. So thank God this, it’s working right now.

Andrea Marie: Yeah.

Kari Stern: Once the third like has, you know, a mind of his own and, you know, wants to go in this direction and these two wanna go that way, but we’ll have to. I’ll let you know.

But for now, it’s great.

Andrea Marie: right. And your older, that they’re a boy and a girl, right?

Kari Stern: Boy and girl. Yeah.

Andrea Marie: Boy girl, okay. Have you noticed, what kind of differences are you seeing in the way they react to the baby? Are there any differences in how the genders are responding?

Kari Stern: You know what? It’s so interesting. My daughter specifically really wanted, she was, [00:04:00] like, asking, “Can we have another baby?” And for a long time we’re like, “No, no.” But she wanted to be an older sister and have that experience, and she has taken kind of… You know, I think she’s realizing like, babies require a lot of attention, and maybe this isn’t just all fun and games like I thought.

And so I’m sort of starting to see her independent side come out a little bit more. And my son is the opposite. I sort of thought, you know, maybe he’s older too, he’s the nine-year-old, maybe he would be, like, less involved, and it’s brought out this really soft side of him that I think didn’t really necessarily have a outlet before.

Andrea Marie: Oh.

Kari Stern: It’s opposite of what I thought, you know. He’s sort of soft and nurturing, and she’s kind of, like, taking on more autonomy. But it’s fun. It’s fun to see these different sides and the kids kinda, you know, respond in their own ways, and the interaction between.

Andrea Marie: It’s gotta be nice that they’re both now, you know, well, not, it’s the summer right now, but they’re [00:05:00] in school, and then you get time, you know, just with the baby by yourself with which, instead of having all three home, you know, a lot, all the time like you do, you know, when they’re kinda spaced two or three years apart.

Kari Stern: Uh huh.

Andrea Marie: Oh, they’re all home, and you’re like, “Oh, God.”

Kari Stern: Yeah, totally. You know, like in some ways I’m like, wow, even I had so much more independence and autonomy.

Andrea Marie: Right.

Kari Stern: Now I am, you know, in it with a baby, which is great, but it’s, there’s like definitely I think a, I don’t wanna say like a grieving of the old life, but it’s really like a reconciliation of the difference in how it was versus now.

You know, I had my kids have been in school for five years.

Andrea Marie: Yeah.

Kari Stern: That’s a big deal.

Andrea Marie: You forget how like, time intensive it all is.

Kari Stern: Yeah. I’m like, “Oh, I have an hour during nap. [00:06:00] Okay, what do I do now? Is it something for me? Is it something for the house?” Like, “Oh, time’s up.” Like, guess it’s nothing. Exactly. Exactly. But in a lot of ways, you know, in all the ways, we love him very much. He’s a very sweet baby.

It’s also, we want a third because I think we have grown and changed so much as parents that it was exciting to kinda get to do it again with this version of ourselves, and so it’s really fun to get to be present with him.

Andrea Marie: Yeah, that’s so true. You’re just probably such a different parent between the first and the third. Yeah.

Kari Stern: Very much so. Night and day.

Giving birth in the car

Andrea Marie: That’s awesome. So you have a crazy story about giving birth to your third that we wanna dive into, ’cause it is just wild, and I love that you shared it both in your comedy and [00:07:00] on reels and things like that. So tell us about how that went down.

Kari Stern: Yeah. Yes, it was quite the surprise. I for sure was like, “Oh my gosh.” You know, first of all, my first two were high-risk pregnancies, also, you know, very intense birth stories in their own ways. My son was an emergency C-section. He was born pretty prematurely. I had an extended hospital stay, and then because I had the same medical condition with my daughter, she was induced.

And this, seven years later, somehow totally normal pregnancy, and I was like, “Wow, I’m gonna have such a dream birth.” One, all I needed was age. And that is not what happened. A lot of people think that I am, like, making up some of these details, and I could not possibly have made this up if I wanted. he was born, you know, just so we’re not burying the lead, [00:08:00] in the front seat of my car, in the parking lot of the coroner’s office. And the whole family was in tow, so both children were present. So when I say, you know, they matured in some ways.

Andrea Marie: Oh my gosh. So they’re in the backseat while you’re giving birth in the front seat.

Kari Stern: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yes. That was not the plan, Andrea, just so that we’re clear.

Andrea Marie: Here’s how we’re gonna do it. It’s gonna we’re gonna pull into a parking lot.

Kari Stern: Yeah, somebody recently asked me, “Was that intentional?” Yes, yes. “Kids, get in the car. Watch this.” I need you here. Yeah, no.

When nobody answers the backup babysitter calls

Kari Stern: My parents were supposed to fly out, but this baby decided to come a little bit on the early side, so they hadn’t come yet.

And we tried… it was very late at night, so it was like 11:00 at night when we sort [00:09:00] of called the on-call doctor and was like, “Hey listen, I’m having this pain. Like, I’m not feeling any contractions even, but something feels not right.” And he was like, “Yeah, yeah. It doesn’t really sound like you’re in labor, but why don’t you just come on in to get checked out?”

And I was like, “Sounds like a good plan.” You know? So we start calling all of our backup people. Nobody’s answering the phone because everybody’s asleep. People have their phones on silent even though.

Andrea Marie: Yeah.

Kari Stern: We were, like, confirmed, like, the day before and like, two days before. “So you’re our backup, right?”

And they’re like, “For sure, for sure. Of course.” Nobody answers.

Andrea Marie: I’m not gonna answer, but I will be your backup.

Kari Stern: Thinking of you. Thoughts and prayers.” Yeah. So we got one phone call back, and I was like, so excited. It was our babysitter, and I was like, “Yes, yes. Oh, like, hello, hello.” And she was like, “Hey, I’m so drunk right now.” We’re like, “Oh, perfect.” She’s like, “What are you guys up to?”

And we’re like, “Yeah, so, we’re [00:10:00] maybe having a baby. You go do that. Thanks for the call.” So my husband got my other two kids up ’cause like, what are we gonna do? leave them home? You know? Can’t do that. They’re not that old. So he’s getting them up, getting their shoes on like, wrapping them in blankets.

I’m just throwing random things in a bag ’cause my bag’s not packed.

Andrea Marie: You don’t have a go bag at that point.

Kari Stern: No, no. Third kid, early, like, I’m not prepared at all. Type C mom, no way. So we all get in the car and, yes, my husband told me to sit on a towel, and I was like, so mad at this point. Like, “This is not how I wanted to do it. I did not want my kids here.”

Like, “Absolutely not. What am I, a barn animal?” And he was like, “Just do me a favor and sit on the towel.” And he was right, Andrea. We made it. It’s probably important to note that my hospital is an hour [00:11:00] away from where I live. Yeah. And so, we start making our way, but it is very apparent, like, I mean, I’m not even pushing. The baby is just descending.

Andrea Marie: My gosh.

Kari Stern: And so about like, 15 minutes into the drive. This is not gonna go any further, so I told… It was, like, between every contraction. I would be like, “We’re making it to the hospital.” And my husband would be like, “Okay.” And then, like, a contraction would come and I’d be like, “Find a closer hospital.”

Andrea Marie: Find a closer hospital.

Kari Stern: I’m like trying to Google like and drive and we’re flying down the highway. My kids are cr- apparently I’m not focused on them, sorry kids, crying in the backseat. It’s so loud.

Andrea Marie: They’re all tired. They’re like, “Could you be quiet, Mom?”

Kari Stern: Yes, exactly. Woken up from a deep sleep to [00:12:00] this situation. Like poor children.

Andrea Marie: Stop yelling.

Kari Stern: Exactly. Yeah like, “I was sleeping.” Yeah. I was like, “Okay, I need you to pull over and I need you to call 911.” And he was like, he was so, like, flustered. He was like, “Okay, how do I do that?”

And I was like, “What do you mean?”

Andrea Marie: Lost all motor function. I don’t know.

Kari Stern: Exactly, exactly. We remembered the number. He called.

Andrea Marie: Thank goodness. Thank goodness. It’s in the name. That’s so handy. That is so handy that the number is in the name.

Kari Stern: Always in the last place you look, Andrea. Yeah, so he pulls over to the first parking lot that we can find, like the safest place to pull over. I think the timestamps were, the call was placed at 12:06, we parked at [00:13:00] 12:09, and the baby was born at 12:12.

Andrea Marie: Oh my God. Oh my… Did anyone even get there?

When the first responders pull out the manual

Kari Stern: Ambulance was there, but I will say, and thank you to our first responders, they had never delivered a baby before, and could not have made that more clear.

Andrea Marie: What is this?

Kari Stern: The first, I will never forget the look in the first firefighter that reached me. His eyes, like it might be the last thing I see before I go. He was like, “Ah, ah.” Like Poor young man. And, he stepped aside, and a nice woman stepped in his place, and she was like, “We have never done this before.” And I was like, “Okay.”

Andrea Marie: You think?

Kari Stern: “So I’m the most experienced one here. Got it. That’s… Thank you.”

Andrea Marie: [00:14:00] You think they’d have a little bit of guidelines or training? I mean, this kind of thing does happen.

Kari Stern: They did have a manual, Andrea. They were reading from it.

Andrea Marie: Hold on. Hold on. Let me check.

Kari Stern: They kept being like, “It says here.” And, you know, I had like a semblance of a birth plan. I was like, “Is there like delayed cord clamping?” And they’re like, “Well, it says here we have to.” And I was like, “Okay. Well, whatever.”

Okay.

Andrea Marie: That is crazy. That is such a wild story. So then the firefighters, how many firefighters were there that?

Kari Stern: I think there were right, I think. There was a firetruck and an ambulance.

Andrea Marie: Okay. Certainly the ambulance would have done something, right?

Kari Stern: I think I was the first for everyone.[00:15:00]

Andrea Marie: Oh my gosh. It is wild because, I mean, yeah, you don’t think, “You know what I’d like for my birth plan is eight inexperienced strangers.”

Kari Stern: Yeah.

Andrea Marie: In a parking lot.

Kari Stern: I think it’s my fault. I think it’s my fault because I did put out, that I would like a unmedicated birth. I just wasn’t specific to where I wanted it and who would be helping me.

Andrea Marie: Yeah, yeah. So yeah, definitely a little more, little more specificity on the manifestation would be helpful.

Kari Stern: One takeaway for listeners. Really drill down into the specifics.

Andrea Marie: Get clear. Get clear. So this was your first unmedicated birth then?

Kari Stern: Mm-hmm.

Andrea Marie: Yeah. So how was that process? I mean, it just happened so quickly, it must have been just pretty intense.

Kari Stern: It was so fast, but I think I was too focused on the [00:16:00] fact that my kids were present and, like, this was not how I thought this was gonna go, that the emotional component of it sort of overshadowed any physical sensation. So I don’t recall… it was certainly painful, but I was not like, present with the pain.

I was more like, present with the circumstances, if that makes sense.

Andrea Marie: Maybe that helps. Like, you know, it kind of goes into fight or flight where, you know, your brain is, like, not even paying attention to the actual pain of it. That is so fascinating. So you’re in the front seat. Are you leaned back? What’s happening here?

Kari Stern: Yes. My husband got out of the car, and, he leaned the seat back. You know, it’s like, “Wah.” I’m like, “I hate this.” And he was on with the dispatcher and 911, so they’re, you know like, “Is, the baby’s head out?” And, he’s like, “No.” And I’m like, “Yes.” You know, [00:17:00] “I can feel

it

Andrea Marie: you can feel the head, yeah

The brand-new car survives the birth

Kari Stern: Yes. Uh, and then, you know, the EMTs arrived very shortly after that, and they took her. And so, uh, yes, he just delivered right, right into their arms.

He was actually, miraculously, Andrea, our car was brand new.

Andrea Marie: Oh my!

Kari Stern: “We have kids, we need a third row. Let’s get a new car.” We had just gotten this car, like, three weeks before.

Andrea Marie: So thank God for the towel.

Kari Stern: Thank God for the towel. Thank God for the towel. And, you know, this is a very kind baby. He was actually born in the sac, which is rare.

Andrea Marie: Oh, wow. That is rare.

Kari Stern: Yes, so, so really the interior of the car was spared a lot.

Andrea Marie: Yeah. Yeah, ’cause I was gonna say, births are messy. There’s a lot of messy things that happen. Like, I didn’t even.

Kari Stern: The exterior of the car was not so lucky, which made me [00:18:00] really laugh ’cause my husband took the car with my other two children to the car wash the next day, and I thought like, the poor person who’s working at the car wash must see this like, “What happened here?”

Andrea Marie: Is this blood? What is this?

Kari Stern: Yeah. Yeah. There’s really… Yes.

Andrea Marie: Oh my gosh, that’s crazy. So then what happens? Like, you have the baby in your car, and then do they take you and the baby to the hospital in the ambulance? What?

Kari Stern: Yeah, so I get in the ambulance with the baby, and the EMTs and my husband and the kids followed in the car. They actually somehow ended up following the wrong ambulance and went to the wrong hospital.

Andrea Marie: How does that… it’s 1:00 in the morning at this point. How is there confusion?

Kari Stern: [00:19:00] I know. I know. I don’t know, Andrea. I was not there, so I cannot answer the question, but somehow they followed the wrong ambulance. So I did the placenta delivery by myself and, you know, was kind of there. They showed up later. Apparently, my husband told me that when they got to the hospital, we were already, like, infamous by the time we got there.

Andrea Marie: Yeah

Kari Stern: They walked in, they don’t know where to go. This is not our normal hospital, you know, the one they have to take me to ’cause it’s closest. And my daughter looked at a security guard, my seven-year-old, and said, “I saw a baby hanging on my mom’s behind.” And he goes, “Oh, you’re the car baby people. The third floor, this way.”

Andrea Marie: That is a good story for school the next day

Kari Stern: Yeah, totally. Yes, my, actually she was doing, [00:20:00] it’s called the Young Writers Conference, and it’s like every kid gets to write a story, and they share it, you know, amongst a large group of students. And she wanted to write about the birth, and her teacher was like, “So, could you just make sure it’s not too…”

And I was like, “Yeah, yeah, I got it. So sorry.”

Andrea Marie: Some of the details out.

Kari Stern: Totally.

Andrea Marie: Oh my gosh.

Kari Stern: Can we talk about this in vague terms?” It’s like, “Mm-hmm.”

Andrea Marie: Oh my gosh, that’s so crazy.

Kari Stern: So they met us there. It was basically 4:00 in the morning at this point, so.

Andrea Marie: God, they must have been exhausted.

Kari Stern: Yeah, you look back at all the pictures and it’s just, like, glass-eyed children.

Andrea Marie: I know.

Kari Stern: Exactly. Yeah. They went home, slept at home for a couple of hours, met us back there the next day, and yeah.

Andrea Marie: Wow.

Kari Stern: Made it work as best as possible

Andrea Marie: Yeah. Yeah. And how great that everything [00:21:00] went so well, like, you know, like you know, there weren’t any complications and all that stuff. That’s so scary to like, you.

Kari Stern: Yeah, extremely lucky. I mean, extremely lucky. He came out and he cried right away. He’s breathing. You know, that would not have worked with my first two, and, we’re very, very lucky. A lot of people were like, “You just did this for the story.” And I was like, “Totally. Yep. That’s what we did.”

Andrea Marie: Yeah, I hold it. I didn’t tell anyone about the contractions until it was too late.

Kari Stern: That’s right. You stated it well.

Andrea Marie: Oh, my gosh, that is a wild, wild story. Well, I’m so glad that, you know, everyone’s healthy. It’s like, you know, it all turned out well. And how, what a wild, wild story.

Kari Stern: Yeah.

Andrea Marie: How fun. And it’s so funny [00:22:00] because one of the things I usually ask for on this, podcast is an unhinged moment. I mean, that was the ultimate unhinged moment, but I know you probably have some different unhinged moments with your kids.

Kari Stern: For sure.

Andrea Marie: I think, yeah, it’s gotta be like, you know, parenting in general is unhinged. But I do like to kinda talk about unhinged moments where we maybe lo- went a little crazy, lost our cool, or either with your own kids or your mom. What, would you give us an, give us another unhinged time with and maybe it has to do with having three, or just two.

Who knows? It’s all something,

Kari Stern: I feel like my parenting journey is like a series of unhinged moments like that. If that’s any indication of how this is going.

Andrea Marie: Yeah.

Kari Stern: It’s really just rolling with the punches. Yeah, I think a lot of my unhinged moments are really about my kids. I kind of become like, an unhinged mama bear in a lot [00:23:00] of ways.

Andrea Marie: Yeah.

You know last night I might have forgotten to feed my son dinner, and then got mad at him at 11:00 PM when he said he was hungry, and I still hadn’t fed him or put him to bed. That wasn’t great.

Oh my.

Kari Stern: I did apologize, and he was basically like, “Whatever, Mom.”

Chasing a stranger over fireworks

Kari Stern: But there was a time on the beach, we were camping, and you’re camping on the beach in Lake McConaughy in Nebraska.

Andrea Marie: Oh yeah, I’ve been there. Yeah.

Kari Stern: It was one of our favorite places to go. And so there’s, you know, just campsites amongst campsites, rows, right, lining the sand.

Andrea Marie: Right.

Kari Stern: It was really late, and I had just gotten the kids to bed, and it took forever ’cause, you know, we’re not in our environment and whatever. So, I had just gotten them to sleep, and all of a sudden somebody is shooting off fireworks behind our camper, like right behind our camper.

Andrea Marie: Oh my God.

Kari Stern: And [00:24:00] I just, I snapped, and I sort of was like, “First of all, like, it’s not safe enough for you to shoot them off behind your own camper, but it’s safe enough for you to shoot them behind mine? Like, no, sir.” And so, somehow, I don’t even, it’s pitch black. I don’t even know who this is, man, woman, like, a kid, adult.

I get up out of my camp chair and like, take off sprinting, and this person starts running, and I am sprinting after them, like just chase. And my husband is chasing after me. Like, oh and as I’m running full speed, in my head, I was like… the thinking was in slow motion. Like, “So what’s the plan here, Kari?

What happens when you do catch up to this person?”

Andrea Marie: Are you gonna tackle him? What are you gonna do?

Kari Stern: Totally, totally. Eventually, he like, stops and I catch him and I’m like, like too out of breath to even say anything. My husband’s right on my tail. It is a very tall, very large man. I mean, [00:25:00] probably like.

Andrea Marie: From you. You’re like this tiny, petite, middle, you know, middle of, I’m not gonna call you middle-aged, but know, somewhat.

Kari Stern: I’m there, yeah. He, my husband like steps between us right away and he’s like, “Listen, like, sorry man. It’s just, you know, fireworks and, you know, if you could not.” And he’s like, “Okay, yeah. I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry.” And I basically was just like, “Yeah, yeah. Like, yeah.” It’s not even about the safety so much as like I just got my kids to sleep, and if you wake them up with these loud pops, I will personally drag you back and have you put them to bed.

You got it? He’s like, “I’m so sorry, yeah.”

Andrea Marie: You’re the babysitter, buddy.

Kari Stern: That’s right. That’s right. Deal with those fireworks, huh?

Andrea Marie: It’s like I’m [00:26:00] sure your kids would be like, “Who’s this strange man putting us to bed now?” You know?

Kari Stern: Yeah, totally. Totally, what, they like “Twinkle Twinkle.” You gotta sing it again.

Andrea Marie: Again, three times with a very hungry caterpillar, okay?

Kari Stern: That’s right. That’s right.

Andrea Marie: Oh my God. Hilarious. That is so funny.

A stroller incident that tested her mom instincts

Kari Stern: I sort of snapped there. There was another time I, this one’s more about me in a not great parenting moment. I was taking the double stroller out when it was just my first two kids for like, one of the first time, and it felt like driving a bus.

Like this thing is just large and long.

Andrea Marie: Yeah.

Kari Stern: Doesn’t make tight turns. And I was shopping at a grocery store, and there was a corner, like, you know, end cap of glass soda bottles. So carbonated beverages in glass bottles. And I tried to make the turn and swung it into [00:27:00] this end cap, and it just collapsed.

And when glass carbonation drops, it really shatters. It flew, I mean, shards of glass, like aisles away. That sounded like fireworks. Like and my first reaction was to duck under the stroller. I was like, ducked under the thing. I didn’t even like jump in front to save my children. I like saved myself.

And I stood up and was like, “Oh my God, I’m a horrible mother. I just used my own children to, like, protect myself. What wrong with me? Am I made for this?” So

Andrea Marie: That’s hilarious. Your kids are covered in glass and soda. You’re like, “Fine,” you know?

Kari Stern: I’m like, “That was scary, huh?” Like, whoa.

Andrea Marie: No way. Whoa.[00:28:00]

Kari Stern: Sorry everyone. Like, woo, that was a close one.

Andrea Marie: Oh my gosh.

Kari Stern: They just keep coming, Andrea.

Andrea Marie: Oh, that is hilarious. It is very hard when, you know, kind of that automatic response kicks in, and it’s like, “Whoops, uh. Sorry about that, kids. I hope you’re okay. I’m good.” In my You know?

Kari Stern: have to make some things up. I’m gonna have to tell them, like, “No, I just moved you out of the way and

Andrea Marie: And then I ducked.

Kari Stern: That’s right.

Andrea Marie: Oh my gosh. Well, this has just been so much fun. I have laughed so hard. So thank you, Kari, for coming on, telling your stories. Appreciate it so much. Tell people where they can find you and connect with you, and we’ll have these links in the show notes
