Delivering a baby in a car on the way to the hospital is probably many parents' worst nightmare, but these folks sure made it look easy.

In a video posted on YouTube Thursday, a woman gives birth to a baby boy in a car on the way to a birth center in Houston, Texas. The father, who's driving, films it all on a GoPro camera on his lap.

Amazingly enough, both parents take this frightening experience exceptionally well, with dad calmly giving the mom instructions throughout the process.

"He's breathing, if he's crying, he's breathing, but hold him upside down, babe. Hold him upside down and pat him on the booty," he says after the baby is delivered.

Near the end of the video, the dad jokes "So I wonder if we still have to pay for using birth center?"
