A NEWS anchor who went into labor while on air has given birth.

On Wednesday, Olivia Jaquith’s waters broke hours before the morning news broadcast started.

Jaquith, an anchor for the CBS affiliate WRGB-TV, said she went into early labor and announced the next day she had given birth.

“What a wild 24 hours,” she said.

“And now baby boy is here.

“Soaking up kisses and cuddles for now but will share updates soon.”

Jaquith has not revealed the baby’s name yet.

The anchor was two days past her due date when she went into labor.

And, her co-star Julia Dunn shared the revelation at the top of Wednesday’s broadcast.

“We do have some breaking news this morning, literally,” she said.

“Olivia’s water has broke and she is anchoring the news now in active labor.”

Her waters broke at 4:15am less than two hours before the show started.

Jaquith told viewers she would remain on the air as long as possible.

And, she completed the broadcast.

During the show, she joked she would rather be at the news desk, than in the hospital.

“Well, hopefully I don’t see you tomorrow, but make sure you join Julia,” she quipped.

In an off-air Facebook Live broadcast, Jaquith revealed that she experienced cramps during Tuesday’s show.

“This morning I got up to go pee, but then stuff just kept coming out,” she said.

Jaquith announced her pregnancy in February and it is her first child with husband, Tyn.

She shared news of her pregnancy after running the Disney Princess half-marathon in Florida.

Chiefs at the network are thrilled for the couple.

“We couldn’t be more thrilled for them. From her on-air pregnancy announcement earlier this year to running a half-marathon while expecting, Olivia has met every stage of this journey with grace and grit,” Stone Grissom, the director of news, said.

“We’re overjoyed to soon welcome our newest (and tiniest!) member.”
