Woman Tweets Honda After Giving Birth In Car; Honda Responds In Best Way!

New York mom Beth Newell gave birth to her daughter at the back of her Honda on May 1. She sent the car company a photo of the birth on its Twitter account and she got a response from Honda. They offered to give her a present.

Beth Newell, who works as a comedienne, writer and director, sent Honda a message and photo on Twitter to ask the company something after she soiled her car's backseat. "@Honda, earlier today I gave birth to my daughter in the back of a Honda Fit," Newell wrote on her Twitter. "It is a mess. Can I have a free car?"

When Twitter users read her message, most encouraged Honda to give in but there were a few who thought this was just a marketing gimmick. It took Honda a few days to respond. "Congrats on your beautiful new baby girl," Honda wrote on its official Twitter account. "We'd love to get your contact info to see how we can be of service. Can you please DM us?"

Netizens cheered on hoping that the new mom's bold move could land her a new car from Honda, but as it turns out, the car company didn't give her a replacement. Instead, they gave the new mom the next best thing by paying to have her car thoroughly cleaned. Honda also offered to replace the backseat at no charge, per Buzzfeed.

So, how did Beth end up giving birth inside her Honda car? She was actually on the way to the hospital with her husband and doula, but her baby just couldn't wait. "We quickly got into the car but didn't make it five minutes down the road before my daughter's head was out," she said. A few minutes later, Maeven was born. The mom describes her baby as "happy, hungry and clearly does what she wants when she wants to."

Beth said that she didn't think she'd get something out of her message to Honda. She only wanted to crack a joke, given how crazy the birth had been.
