Yet another couple is caught off-guard when their baby was born before they could even leave their house for the hospital. This story is another testament that every pregnant couple must prepare for unassisted birth!
It was reported on Huffingtonpost and Cnn. Both articles carry the interview by Dr. Sanjay Gupta of the father, Josh Lev, who is a news reporter. The Huffington Post story includes links to
Childbirth: How to Deliver a Baby in an Emergency Childbirth and The BabyCenter's Emergency Homebirth. It also gives a link to an article about a medically unassisted birth that occurred in a taxi in Lincoln Tunnel on Feb. 2011.
Although reporter Josh Lev's hadn't considered the fact that there is a chance that EVERY woman may deliver out of hospital, he did have some knowledge that helped him do all the right things. He knew not to cut the cord, he rubbed his baby when it hadn't breathed yet, and he talked to his baby.
