Katie and the birth of her brother
Apr 16, 2008 08:31
Jill, nine months' pregnant, went into labour very suddenly and called an ambulance.
The ambulance service was oversetretched that night because of power cuts all over town, and only one paramedic turned up.
He could see that Jill was not going to make it to the maternity unit before giving birth so decided to deliver there and then. But there was no electricity.
He asked Jill's three-year-old daughter Katie to hold the torch for him while he delivered the baby.
Katie was careful to hold the torch properly, and after a few minutes' pushing, Jill gave birth to a fine baby boy.
The paramedic lifted the baby by his feet, slapped him on his bottom and the baby began to cry.
"Thank you for your help, young lady," he said to Katie as Jill cradled her new baby. "Now what did you think about everything you've just seen?"
Katie replied: "He shouldn't have crawled in there in the first place - smack him again".
