A new mom in Chesapeake, Va., said that a hospital sent her home just hours before she delivered her son, leading her to give birth in the bathtub of her home.

LeeAnn Bienaime arrived at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth around 8:30 p.m. on Aug. 23 because she was experiencing contractions, she told WTKR. Roughly four hours later, she was told to go home and come back when her contractions were more severe, she said.

“I was told that I should come back when my contractions were when you can’t really walk and you can’t really talk through them,” she told the news station.

“I had to let instinct take over and just go with it and kind of release myself to the experience,” she recalled. With the help of her husband, LeeAnn successfully gave birth to a healthy son, Joachim.

“We were able to have a healthy birth, a healthy baby boy -- that’s why I’m not completely enraged,” she said.“I feel like if it had gone another way, it would’ve been a different story.”

Looking back, Leo said he never would have taken his wife home.

“If I could do it again, I would’ve just sat in the waiting room and not left. We would’ve pitched a tent. We would’ve started a fire. We would’ve just straight-up camped,” he joked.
