When one mom went into labor alone at home, she immediately called 911.
Medstar operator Kate Gillinger answered call, and assumed it would just be routine. Gillinger told KTVT, “I thought it was just going to be one of those we get there we transport and then we go to the hospital. But it didn’t turn out that way.”
Everything changed when mom, Allison Marquardt, told Gillinger that she had a history of precipitous labor. In precipitous labor, the time from the beginning of labor and birth can be three hours or less.
Gillinger immediately told Marquardt to assume a comfortable position and take deep breaths between her contractions, and she then began helping her through childbirth.
“Let me know when the baby is completely out,” Gillinger told the mom. She instructed Marquardt to keep pushing until the baby was out.
“Oh! He’s out,” Marquardt said. And as soon as Gillinger asked if the baby was crying, the newborn cried out. “OK! Good! I hear that,” Gillinger said.
Looking back on the call with Marquardt, Gillinger said “she did magnificent,” and “she was the perfect caller.” Marquardt gave birth to a healthy baby boy, who is now 4 weeks old. He has his mom and a skilled operator to thank for his successful delivery.
