Cariboo woman delivers baby in minivan en route to hospital
A B.C. Interior woman delivered her baby in the front seat of a minivan while a BCEHS dispatch operator in Vancouver provided childbirth directions over speaker phone to her and her mom.
By the time she and her mom, Angie Lee, set out to make the one-hour drive to Cariboo Memorial Hospital in Williams Lake, the contractions were coming every five minutes. Her mom pulled over, they called 9-1-1, and within minutes the baby was born, weighing five pounds, nine ounces.Wrapped up in a blanket and some coats, Brittany held her newborn on her chest and waited until Big Lake Fire and Rescue and BC Emergency Health Services arrived.“Everyone was so great – the firefighters, the ambulance attendants, the nurses,” she said.
“It was probably my favourite call [most memorable in a good way] that I have ever taken,” he noted in an emailed response. “It is a honour and a privilege to be part of that child and mother’s story, it is by far the very best part of this job. As I said to the grandma and mom, ‘boy, will you have a story to tell!’”
