GRANNY DELIVERS DAUGHTER'S BABY AFTER AMBULANCE GETS STUCK IN TRAFFIC.
A Chaguaramas grandmother is being hailed as a hero after she delivered her daughter’s baby in the wee hours of yesterday morning.
Kathy Ann Edwards, 50, was able to safely deliver her grandson, Leonardo Gabriel Stewart, at 12.42 am, when her eldest daughter, Patrice Edwards, went into labour while visiting her on the compound of the Military Museum in Chaguaramas. Leonardo was born three weeks before his due date.
“They couldn’t get an ambulance, we call around and they didn’t have any ambulance, then they got this ambulance from Mt Hope but there was a party (in Chaguaramas), so they took really long to get here,” Edwards said.
The medics instructed Edwards to put her daughter to lie on some cushions on the floor and to make preparations for the baby’s birth - by boiling water and sterilising string for the baby’s umbilical cord.
