www.insideHALTON.com | OAKVILLE BEAVER | Friday, May 27, 2016 | 8 Paramedics both professional and caring: mom continued from p.1 her first child's birth, three-year-old son Lucas, had lasted about 28 hours. She had been told this birth would probably be shorter, however, she was unprepared for just how fast it would be. Yelovich now knows her labour began May 17, but because the contractions were not consecutive, she didn't think it was the real thing and did not leave for the nearby Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital (OTMH). The contractions increased in strength throughout the night at which point Yelovich As independent insurance brokers, we have freedom of choice. So should you.

She said she was actually on the phone with the midwife in the early morning hours when her water broke and asked the midwife to call an ambulance. A short distance away, Halton EMS Advanced Care Paramedics Brandon Van Stralen, Kevin Hutchinson and Primary Care Paramedics Rene Nyland, Rob Ignatov and Emily Kennedy were just beginning their shift when the call came in. "We were getting dressed and ended up just throwing everything on and running out the door," said Hutchinson. Hutchinson and Nyland were first on the scene. They said Yelovich and her family wanted to be taken to the hospital, but after Yelovich mentioned she could feel the baby's head it was determined there was not enough time. "Basically, she was ready to have the baby imminently and we recognized that," said Nyland. "We realized we couldn't get to the hospital even though it was only 10 minutes away." Hutchinson said Nyland coached Yelovich through the experience while he set up the equipment. The pair also called for a second ambulance, which is when Ignatov, Kennedy and Van Stralen arrived. Nyland said after their arrival, it took just 10 minutes and two or three pushes for baby Micah to be born. The healthy baby boy weighed eight pounds and 15 ounces, and was born on the living room couch at around 6 a.m. Yelovich said she will redecorate. Throughout the birth, Yelovich said the paramedics were professional and reassuring with one individual holding her hand. After several of the paramedics assessed Micah to make sure he was OK, they cleaned him and handed him to his mother. After a few moments the group went to the hospital where Yelovich says the paramedics stayed with her until their next call. "They were awesome," she said. "I truly feel like I had five angels in my living room that morning." The Halton EMS crew says being there for baby Micah's birth was a great first call for the day. "It was pretty exciting. We don't do that every day," said Ignatov. Nyland, Kennedy and Hutchinson said this was their first time delivering a baby as paramedics. "You see so many other things that are not good," said Hutchinson. "This was really a breath of fresh air. It's good to have every once in a while. It kind of gives you a reboot."
