The beautiful story comes to us from the small town of Frankfort, in Kentucky (United States). Dr. Amanda Hess, an obstetrician and gynecologist, has brought into the world the baby of a woman at the regional medical center. A priori, nothing exceptional. Except that the doctor was not present at the maternity hospital to work, but to give birth to itself !

The second wife, Leah Johnson, was ready to give birth, her cervix was completely dilated and baby was starting to show signs of distress. But no one was there for the birth, his doctors are apparently paused. Dr. Hess has heard the nurses have to worry about the situation, and immediately decided to offer his help.

Quickly, well done

“I’ve just put another gown to cover my back and slippers to my shoes, to protect me fluids, and I’m down in his room “, she explained later.

And then, surprise : she recognized Mrs. Johnson, that she had received in consultation a few days earlier. She has led the delivery, which went without a hitch. “She was just happy to be able to finally push to have her baby, and not have to wait,” added the doctor.

Once the work has been completed, it is returned in its room, as if nothing had happened, and the work started a few minutes later. She gave birth to her second child, a daughter named Ellen Joyce.
