Footling Breech

Went to a woman in labour on Tuesday night. When we arrived we found the hubby on the phone to the midwife. My crew mate spoke to the midwife to be told the two worst words you can hear - "cord prolapse". This is where the cord comes out before the baby and is very dangerous - often fatal to the baby. So we had to take a look and saw a foot coming out - so it was a footling breech which is better but not much. Now its a case of getting her on board and into Maternity as soon as possible. She comes down the stairs of her flat backwards on all fours with me steering her behind whilst crew mate and hubby get the trolley. On the trolley and off in to the ambulance. On with the Entonox and then off we go with blue lights on. Half way in and she has another contraction. Something has changed and she feels as if something has "fallen out". I have a look and now we have two feet out. Ooops! We get herin and in to the theatre at Maternity. She is put under and given a crash section. A few minutes later a baby boy appears. Everyone is happy and I'm very relieved.
