This 34-year-old woman therefore alerted the nursing staff, in vain. As no one came to her room, a neighbor warned a midwife who then went in search of a wheelchair, in order to move the patient to the delivery room, traces Le Bien Public.
Problem, during this time, everything rushed for the young mother. “I was standing at the sink. My baby fell face down on the floor,” she told Bien Public. “The midwife arrived. When he saw this, he ran to get scissors to cut the cord.” Nevertheless the story ends well, the young mother and her son are in good health.
For the management of the hospital, this is an “exceptional case”. “The midwife found that the young woman’s water had broken. Her assessed condition required her transfer to the wheelchair delivery room, but in no case led to an immediate delivery being anticipated”, explains the CHU in the daily. local. An internal investigation was still opened, to “prevent such a situation from happening again”.
