The stepwise approach to midwifery
Baby was on the way. Baby was on the way, on the way. Baby cared not about timing. Baby was diving headfirst into the world. Baby cared not for VW upholstery. Baby simply wanted out!
Multi-tasking isn’t usually a dad kind of thing, and 4am in the morning isn’t the time to learn. This dad discovered new skills; one handed speed delivery driving, pleading with over-eager baby, comforting hysterical, screaming wife.
Just in time...
... the maternity hospital. Doors locked. No-one answered. Bethlehem revisited?
Dad retrained on the steps. When it came to midwifery skills, dad delivered!

This is a true story. Last Sunday my best mate's son-in-law delivered his wife's second baby on his own on the steps in front of the locked doors of a maternity hospital. Something different for his resume I think!
