Newborn born in Hospital parking garage

in 3rd Trimester

Almost 2 weeks ago a woman gave birth in the parking gaarage of a local hospital... 2 staff members on their way home stopped and helped.  One of them tied off the umbilical cord.  I can't find a link to the original story, but there was a good letter to the editor about it today I thought I'd share.

If you go into labor quickly and do not male it to L&D, do not let someone tie the cord off with their showlace.  It can wait.

    My MW said that if in an emergency we needed to tie the cord to use dental floss. She says she carries it around with her just in case. LOL
