Breech Position Baby Born In Back Of Car

A couple from Aberdeenshire have said they are relieved and grateful for their baby son's good health after he was born breech in the back of their car.

Denise Middler gave birth when she and her partner Darren Farquharson were still a few miles from Aberdeen Maternity Hospital.

Her baby, who she named Owen, was in the breech position and his umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck.

Two police officers who had been out on a routine patrol helped deliver the baby before an ambulance arrived.

Then, paramedics continued with the delivery while one of the police officers drove the ambulance to hospital.

Owen stopped breathing at one point but doctors detected a pulse and were able to stabilise his condition.

Owen was the result of IVF treatment so his dramatic delivery made him a double miracle for Denise and Darren.

Denise said: "I'm so grateful to everyone who helped us, from the police officers and paramedics to the staff at the hospital.

"It certainly wasn't the way I imagined bringing Owen into the world, but we're delighted with him and are so glad everything has worked out.

"We will never forget what these officers have done for us, and we'll make sure that Owen knows too when he is old enough.

"I hope this gives encouragement to other couples who may be going through the IVF process too that even if it seems unlikely, it can happen and we now have Owen proof of that too."
