When the baby of a 13-year-old mother was delivered into a toilet, Detroit firefighters stepped in to save the child’s life.<\/p>\n

On a 911 call placed by the mother\u2019s 12-year-old sister, she said her sister was in labor and had gone into the restroom and started to deliver a baby. When first responders arrived, the baby had been born and the young mother was unconscious. The full-term, seven pound baby had been wrapped in a towel and laid on the floor, still attached to the placenta. The baby had no pulse. First responders immediately began CPR.<\/p>\n

“Every 30 seconds, there was a little gasp,\u201d said Sgt. Tom Suchora according to Fox 2 Detroit<\/a>. \u201cWhen I put my finger in its mouth to try clearing its airway, it actually gagged a little bit – so I knew there was a chance.”<\/p>\n

“We wrapped the baby in a blanket to keep him warm,” said Firefighter Marcus Moore. “On the second cycle of CPR, she started to breathe again on her own and take that first gasp of air. From there EMS was at the scene, got the mom inside and continued to do CPR to the hospital.”<\/p>\n
