Taking the bar exam is usually one of the most difficult things a lawyer or aspiring lawyer will go through in their entire life. Well, one little boy decided to make things just a wee bit harder on Brianna Hill, choosing the middle of the exam for his emancipation from his mother's womb.

The bar exam takes place in 4 different 90 minute sections over 2 days. Due to Covid the exam was delayed 10 weeks. Hill, a Loyola University School of Law Grad, was finally taking the bar in an online proctored test.

After the first section, her water broke.

Here's how the rest of the story went:

Her midwife told her she didn't have to go to the hospital right away, so Hill finished the second part of the test. Later that night, she delivered a baby boy.

The next day, Hill finished the exam while at the hospital, nursing her baby 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," Hill told CNN. "My husband and law school friends provided me with so much encouragement, so I could push through the finish line even under less than ideal circumstances."

"Less than ideal circumstances" may be the understatement of the year.

Congrats to the new mom!
