ANKENY, Iowa — A paramedic has helped a suburban Des Moines woman with the home delivery of her baby son.
The Des Moines Register reports that Kosha McLean’s contractions started about 6 a.m. Monday at her home in Ankeny and progressed so rapidly she knew she and her husband, Stacy, wouldn’t make it to a hospital on time.
Paramedic Justin Vander Leest and other first responders soon arrived, and he stepped up to help in what was his first baby delivery in a seven-year career.
The so-far-unnamed boy has a 2-year-old brother waiting at home to play with him.
