911:: A First For Me Tonight!!

Well just about 1 hour and 30 minutes ago I had the privelage to deliver a

baby

on the phone. Or I guess more correctly HELP deliver a baby. It was my

first

time doing this the whole 9 yards!! Got the call from dad who was fairly

calm

and said that his wife was getting ready to deliver. So I start doing EMD.

All of a sudden there is some comotion in the background and dad says that

she's having the baby right now. So I have my partner get the ambulance

started since I'll be getting a little busy... So I've jumped down to the

appropriate EMD box which would be to get the dry towel and wrap the baby up

and then tie a string or shoelace around the umbilical cord 6 inches away

from

the baby. This isn't going to quickly because as we all know the frantic

dad

is wondering if I've sent the ambulance and he's listening to mom yelling in

the background. Anyway, dad does a good job and ties the u-cord off and

lays

baby on mom. I ask if baby is breathing and dad says yes, but he's not

crying

and baby is a little purple. Yikes. But again I confirm with dad that baby

is

indeed breathing and I'm happy. About 10 seconds later I hear a good cry

from

baby! What a sound!! I ask Dad if it's a boy or girl and it's a boy. My

officer walks in shortly thereafter and starts talking with Mom and Dad and

is

told (I can hear all this over the open line) that the boys name is .

Hear

some more crying about now. Yea! Ambulance arrives and takes a healthy Mom

and

Son to the hospital!! The Sgt who had been on scene sent up a MDC message

saying that Dad had said I did a geat job with him on the phone.

Let me say, that I've been doing this for 5 years (newbie to some people)

and I

think I've been involved in just about every standard bad thing that can

happen

and then more then a few non-standard things. I don't get excited anymore,

don't let bad calls get me down. But let me say that after this call I felt

a

feeling of what I can only describe as new vigor! It was so nice to bring

someone into the world rather then hearing them leave this world. It was

nice

to know that after all the bad calls I've gotten, something happened that

was

GOOD that increased my heart rate and made me break a sweat. This was a

little

bundle that served as a BIG reminder as to why I love this profession!!!!

Jim (WOO HOO!!!!)

I've seen them at the local uniform shop, do you have one in the area that

you could try? I hope so

Meant to ask, any chance of getting a tape of the call, I think it would be

wonderful for training purposes.

(Very late reply)

but HAD to say my Congrats to you, Jim!! THat is awesome! I delivered my

first last October and it was a great feeling! I even called a week later to

find out how everyone was doing....

A friend of mine used to be in dispatch (now a tac) and it took her 13 years

to deliver her first so we ARE kinda lucky it didnt take that long.

Also, as far as pins, we get a childbirth ribbon during telecommunicators

week so I got mine last week. Its a pretty good accomplishment for anyone

who handles one!
