A NHS midwife thought on her feet and played a vital role in making sure a pair of twins were delivered safely 🙌
In late April, Amy McNaughton went into labour at 34 weeks with her twin boys, Jace and Jude.
The 30-year-old was rushed to Wishaw General Hospital, in North Lanarkshire, where she gave birth to Jude in just two pushes. However, Amy suffered a cord prolapse – which put baby Jace in danger – and was told she urgently needed an emergency c-section to get him out safely.Amy suffered a cord prolapse during delivery
