Great-grandmother delivers baby

"A 90-year-old former midwife from Wiltshire had to step in to deliver her great-granddaughter because the duty midwife was not able to arrive in time."

She sounds SO lovely! I wish she was my grandma!

Sooo lovely!!

Lucky she was there. She sounded like exactly the person you'd want with you.

Wow! 50 years out of the profession and she'd got all the skill, all the confidence you could want. I love that bit where she's talking about what she would have done if it had been breech. Definately a case of 90 years young I think!
