Woman in Telangana delivers baby while waiting for ambulance
Hyderabad, Aug 25: A woman in Nirmal district delivered a baby on the roadside at a village following intense labour pains while waiting for an ambulance, officials said on Friday, adding that staff of another ambulance who soon arrived at the spot took care of her.
The delivery was almost one month ahead of schedule and the woman and her baby are doing fine, they said.
The woman (27), who belongs to a village in the district, developed labour pains at about 8 PM on Thursday and she contacted an Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHA).
The ASHA advised her to wait at a place after crossing a water body as a bridge on it had got washed away in recent heavy rains.
The ambulance service provided by ITDA (Integrated Tribal Development Agency) was contacted first but it could not arrive on time due to connectivity issues, they said.
The '108' emergency service was contacted then.
Meanwhile, the woman experienced intense labour pains and she delivered the baby with some attendants trying to assist her.
The '108' vehicle arrived soon and its personnel took care of her, including cutting the umbilical cord, they said.
The mother and baby were then shifted to a community health centre.
Officials said pregnant women are usually admitted to 'birth waiting rooms' in local hospitals about 10 days ahead of the expected date of delivery but this case was not anticipated so much in advance.
As for the broken bridge, the officials said that the process is for issuing tenders to construct the bridge on the water body.

Two arrested in K'taka for assaulting minors, uploading CSAM content
Bengaluru (PTI): Two men were arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting two minor girls, recording the acts on mobile phones and uploading the videos online as child sexual abuse material, police said on Thursday.
The accused have been identified as Kiran Kumar (29), hailing from Chitradurga district, and Aditya M K (20), hailing from Shivamogga district, they said.
A probe was initiated after information was received from the NCRP portal regarding a suspected instance of creation of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) for online dissemination, police said.
Accordingly, a case was registered at Kaggalipura Police Station under relevant sections of the IT Act on May 10, they added.
Investigation revealed that two minor girl victims were exploited and videos were created and uploaded to the internet. The child victims have subsequently recorded their statements as per procedure and further necessary legal steps have been taken, Pronab Mohanty Director General of Police, Cyber Command, said in a statement.
Based on the statements of the victims, the accused persons, who allegedly assaulted the minors, recorded the acts on mobile phones and uploaded the videos online, were arrested, he said.
Following the probe, sections 65(2) (rape) and 70 (gangrape) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, along with relevant sections of the POCSO Act, have been added to the FIR, police said.
Officials collected relevant information and on May 12, arrested the accused persons and seized three mobile phones belonging to them, in which the videos had allegedly been recorded, he said.
The accused were later produced before the court and taken into police custody for further investigation, he added.
According to him, in CSAM cases, police usually apprehend offenders who have downloaded such content or have kept them in their possession after obtaining them from elsewhere, usually the internet.
"The present case is one of the very few instances where content creators and uploaders have been apprehended," Mohanty added.
