[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 683199, member: 1963"] Yep. husband helped deliver a baby in the back of his cab in Milwaukee many years ago. Mom was very apologetic as the last two times, she'd at least barely made it to the hospital. Normal delivery. Stu said all he did was "catch the baby" clean it up and make sure it was breathing, cut the cord once it quit pulsating. He put the placenta in a plastic bag for the doctor to look at and wrapped the baby up in his quilted flannel jacket. Somewhere in Milwaukee, there is a 38 year old Hispanic woman whose middle name is "Estuarta" We were invited to her quinceanera but were unable to attend. Also thought it might be embarrassing to the girl to have to introduce the cabbie who had delivered her to all her friends and family. Mom said that the next time, she was hiring a midwife and delivering at home as she feared the next one would be born on the stairs leading to her flat. Now, she would be an ideal candidate for a midwife: normal, uncomplicated deliveries that went VERY quickly, and big,healthy babies that had no problems with breathing or nursing. Stu said the little girl was screaming as soon as her head was born and didn't shut up until she was put to the breast. [/QUOTE]
