Off-Duty Pregnant Firefighter Saves Crash Victim Then Gives Birth
During the time that she was helping, she also realized that she was going into labor. She had cramps that were increasing in intensity and she knew it would soon be time to give birth.
“I don’t know how I did what I did because the cramping was so bad. I must’ve just been running on adrenaline.”
The paramedics soon arrived and she allowed them to do their work. They extracted the victim from the vehicle and took her to a hospital. Six different people from the accident were taken to hospitals and none of them experienced life-threatening injuries.
It was also then that Warfield ended up in the hospital. She was at John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, and the doctors told her that she had gone into labor due to the accident. It also caused her baby to be sideways in the womb, presenting some challenges.
Fortunately, less than 24 hours later, she had a baby girl who was 100% healthy. Baby Charlotte is now a part of the family along with her older sister, Ellie, and older brother, Jamison.
She has been hailed by the local volunteer fire rescue service as a hero and many people have gone on to comment about what she did that day.
