Law exams are difficult but a woman from Chicago took it to a different level up by giving birth while giving the test.?
"I thought I would only be 28 weeks pregnant when I took the bar. However, due to the pandemic, the test was pushed to October and I was going to be 38 weeks. I joked about taking the test from my hospital bed. Lesson learned!" she said while speaking to CNN.?
Half an hour into the paper, she felt her water had broken. But she could not go to see if it was so and thus finished the first section?
"As soon as I stood up when I finished, I knew my water had broken," she added.?
During a break she called her husband, midwife and mom while being in panic mode. When the midwife said there was time before she would have to go to the hospital, she did the second part of the exam.?
Hill went to the hospital and gave birth to a son.?
"The whole time my husband and I were talking about how we wanted me to finish the test and my midwife and nurses were so on board. There just wasn't another option in my mind," she went on to say.?
One day later, the staff provided an empty room for her to continue the test. She even took care of the little one during breaks.?
"I'm so thankful for the support system I had around me. The midwives and nurses were so invested in helping me not only become a mom but also a lawyer," she said.
