“No medical training whatsoever; it was just one of those things where you watch all this TV, and you just put it into practice right now. The baby started crying, and the mom got calm, and I told them everything was going to be fine and that the worst was over.”
The mother and daughter received afterbirth care and were comfortable and healthy.
The security guard, who is a father of two, stated that he now feels like he has a third child after assisting in the delivery of the elevator baby.
He said:
“I want to be part of the baby’s life, and celebrate Mother’s Day and birthdays, coming along as she grows. Seems to me like she’s going to be another one of my kids.”
The woman and her husband named their newborn baby girl Mia.
Graduand delivers baby
Recently, Briefly News reported a college student went into labour just hours before her graduation ceremony.
The university stepped up in a big way by bringing a private ceremony to the new mother’s hospital room.
Jada Sayles went into labour and was eventually admitted to the hospital around 4:30am on May 14, which was the same day as her graduation from Dillard University.
