Shannon Mata of Gladstone went into labour yesterday morning, although her baby wasn't due until December 14. Her husband was out of town, so she called her mother-in-law.
There wasn't time to drive to the hospital. As they waited for an ambulance, the mother-in-law spoke with an emergency medical technician by phone.
Fortunately, an off-duty paramedic was driving nearby with his radio on. Edwin LaCosse rushed over as the baby girl was being born.
He used a turkey baster to clear her nose and mouth, and a shoelace to tie off the umbilical cord. Mother and baby are fine.
