A pregnant firefighter involved in a car crash in Maryland jumped out and helped rescue another woman from an upturned vehicle, despite starting to go into labour.
Megan Warfield was hailed as “a true public servant” for her swift actions while nine months pregnant with her third child, as she administered first aid and waited for paramedics, all while experiencing contractions.
“I started to climb in there with her, but then I was like, ‘What are you doing? You’re nine months pregnant,’” Ms Warfield told NBC’s Today show. “I ended up holding onto her to keep her in place because I wasn’t sure of her injuries at the time.
“It was also important that I keep her calm,” Ms Warfield added. “It was a pretty traumatic event.”
Ms Warfield was a passenger in another car involved in the crash as she headed home from a golf tournament she had organised in honour of her late father.
Remarkably, one of the first responders on the scene was her partner - and paramedic - Joshua Daugherty.
Shortly after help arrived, Ms Warfield took herself off to the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore to get checked out.
Unbeknown to her, the unborn baby had moved into a sideways position during the crash and had induced labour. A healthy baby daughter was born less than 24 hours later.
