A midwife at the hospital said. "Giving birth on the way to hospital doesn't happen often, but if you're there when it does, just support the baby's head and quide it out don't pull. Then clean the baby's nose and mouth, but don't cut the umbilical cord just lay the baby on the mother's chest, cord and all. Dry the baby with a clean towel or cloth, gently rub its back, then cover mum and baby with a dry blanket to keep them both warm, and wait for medical help to arrive.
