After you settle into the realization that you actually are pregnant, many women begin thinking about their birth plans. Do you want the assistance of pain-managing drugs? Do you want to go all-natural? Who do you want to be there with you? No request is too trivial.
But as much as we plan, ultimately the baby decides when it's time to enter the world. For one newborn, the descent began while she was being serenaded by Beyoncé.

'I think she heard Beyoncé’s voice and said, "I want to go too,"' the new mom shares.
Sarah Francis Jones decided that Beyoncé’s Renaissance show at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles would be her last hurrah before she was set to have an emergency C-section the following week. But apparently, her daughter Nola had other plans.
During the now-famous “mute challenge,” Sarah felt her first contraction. And when Beyoncé belted out her song “Virgo’s Groove,” Sarah felt the strongest ones. “I wasn’t thinking that I was going into labor. I wasn’t due for another week,” Sarah told ABC 7. “I think she heard Beyoncé’s voice and said, “‘I want to go too.’”

Initially, Sarah didn't think she was actually in labor.
Sarah, who was enjoying herself at the show, didn’t think her contractions were real. She had to take a dance break and sit down, but she wasn’t ready to leave the show.
“The contractions felt maybe 30 minutes apart,” she explained to ABC 7. “And I also wasn’t sure that they were contractions. I was like ‘Maybe they’re Braxton Hicks. Maybe I have gas,'” Sarah said, laughing.
“Maybe this is a false alarm.”
'It just made sense,' Sarah said about her daughter's birth.
But by the time the show was over and Sarah had made it back to the car, she was sure that the time was now. Nola’s dad leapt into action, racing Sarah to the hospital. The two got there just in time. Sarah said it was the perfect set of circumstances.
“Beyoncé’s birthday concert on Labor Day and then I go into labor with my Virgo baby,” Sarah said. “It just made sense.”
Nola's parents said they would love it if Beyoncé would be their daughter's godmother.
Although Sarah wasn’t prepared to welcome her daughter in this way, she said she feels great.
“Once I saw her, it was all worth it,” she said in a video shared by KMOV.
Nola arrived on September 5, WOOD reported. Nola’s arrival is so good that people might believe her actor parents scripted the whole thing.
“If we didn’t record it, I don’t think anybody would believe it,” Spears said. “It’s just one of those things that it’s so convenient you’re like ‘Nah that’s not happening,’ but the baby definitely pulled through.”
The two haven’t chosen a middle name for Nola yet but are open to something Beyoncé related. And they would love it if the singer would agree to be the girl’s godmother.
