:paw:hi every one

the first and last time i vsited this forum was 2 years ago when i have just started nursing school,i was so busy and still very busy so don't have a free time to chat, but something very exciting happened to me on my way back home from school a month ago and i want to share it with you all...

i'm traveling every day to another city for nursing school for the last 2 years...one day while i was driving back home on the high way i saw a man standing out side his car on the side of the road waving for help.

i decided to stop and give some help, for my surprise he said that his wife is having a baby right now inside the car, i was shocked but said i'm a nursing student i think i can help but let's call an ambulance as well because i don't have any sterelized tool's to cut the cord,

then i entered the car and saw the baby just came out still not breathing, the mother was holding her asking why isn't she crying yet? why is she blue??? i was telling her that it's normal bec. she was just born and soon she'll be o.k. i was trying to come her down (and praying to god fot the baby to start breathing ) after a moment i decided to start "cpr" ,so i opened the baby's air way and then she started crying, i was so excited and told the mother soon her skin will be pink and normal, the mother started crying.. and i told her that i'm planning to become a midwife in the future, i'll always remember her and her baby, then i covered the baby with a cloth the father found in the car, while waiting for the ambulance the baby's father started taking some pictures, and then he pulled a 2 year old boy from his car sit (that was sitting in the back of the car all this time with out saying a ward )and showed him his new sister girl that was just born. after 15-20 min, the ambulance arrived, they finally cut the baby's cord and told me to hold the baby while taking the mother out of the car and in to the umbulance. i felt like in a dream. gave back the baby to her mother , they all thanked me and i said goodbye asked wich hospital they are going to?

and drove back home,happy excited and shocked. i called the hospital the next day asked to talk to the mother that gave birth on the way,she came

to the phone thanked me again , i asked her how do you feel today? and is the baby o.k. ??? she said that they are both doing great.

the end:yeah:
