WBAL anchor Lacee Griffith has water break on live TV, later gives birth to baby girl

WBAL-TV anchor Lacee Griffith, who was 31 weeks pregnant, got some breaking news of her own while attempting to deliver the morning traffic report Wednesday morning: Her baby girl was on her way.

In a Facebook Live video Thursday, Griffith said she was running in her heels to the anchor desk to deliver the traffic, when she felt her water break.

“I just am getting to the desk and [anchor Jason Newton] is looking at me like, ‘What is happening? … I didn’t know what was happening because this was my first baby.” said Griffith, from her bed in Sinai Hospital in Baltimore. When it was her cue, Griffith said she could barely put together a sentence.

“I was trying to do my best to say something that made any sense.”
