Few things are more despicable than robbing a pregnant woman–except for maybe robbing her WHILE she's in labor! That's exactly what happened to one Annapolis, Maryland mom and her boyfriend, who were recently held at gunpoint by three men while on their way to the hospital early on Sunday.
Wow, that is definitely a whole new level of low. But just wait … it gets even worse!

Apparently, the couple had just left their apartment when the suspects, 24-year-old Devery Kelley and 44-year-old Cornell Robinson confronted them. And get this: The woman's boyfriend actually fled. Can you believe that? I know it's a split-second reaction kind of thing, but how do you run away and just leave your pregnant girlfriend behind?
Thankfully, the woman, who remains unidentified, is fine. Before the authorities arrived, the men allegedly tried to get the woman to lead them into the apartment, but she didn't have the key. Two of the men took off in the woman's car, but police caught them and charged them with robbery and assault.
The woman was then taken to a local hospital, but officials had no details on her or her baby's condition.
This poor woman! As if labor wasn't stressful enough, now women have to worry about being robbed at gunpoint? Somehow, I don't think that's what doctors mean when they say to be prepared for anything during birth.
One thing's for sure: I'm just glad they were caught. Whoever is capable of pulling off a heinous crime like this and attacking a woman while she's in the middle of having a child deserves jail time and worse.
