Got a call on the radio this morning...ambulance had 10 min ETA with a mom who had just delivered. She said she was only 2 months pregnant...but medics said baby was trying to breathe and had a HR of 200. Called the NRT down from OB etc...
Ambulance got to the ER and met them in the bay since we didn't know what to expect.
Baby was smaller than the length of my hand, about the width of 3-4 of my fingers...gasping for breath, HR slowing down...went for a couple minutes without a heartbeat, then it would come back slowly for a minute or so...very sad...nothing you can do so early on.
OB nurse estimated him (yep, him) to be ~ 18 weeks.
Mom is 16 y/o...this was her 3rd baby.
