Morley Hayes from Eden, Utah, once learned in practice how important it is to listen to teachers at school - it can really come in handy in life.
In a lesson about childbirth and development, an 16-year-old girl learned about how her birth goes. Suddenly, this knowledge was useful to her when her aunt began to give birth earlier than expected, tells People.
Newly mom Laura Krieger told reporters that the birth should have happened 19 in May, but the strong contractions suddenly began earlier, on the way to visit friends. Realizing that she was near the Heys house, Laura went there with her seven-year-old daughter.
When Morley opened the door, her little cousin said that mom was "going to have a baby." There was no one else at home, so the teenage girl undertook to deliver. When the waters receded, Morley called 911 and did what the dispatcher said.
She also recalled key tips given at school - for example, to make sure that the umbilical cord is not tangled and that the baby's skin is of normal color. When the ambulance arrived, the girl was already bathing the baby. Shortly after the whole family returned home, Morley was one of the people who signed the birth certificate.
“It was an amazing experience,” the girl admitted.
As the doctors later said, if Krieger went to the hospital and did not go to her niece, she would have to cross the canyon without a mobile connection, which could be very dangerous. In addition, it would have to give birth in a car that is far from clean and sterile.
