Don't get caught out in the cold, parents-to-be! ❄️❄️❄️
Emergency Birth kit for your car:
-Towel to catch fluids and rub baby's back.
-Hat to keep baby's head warm
-Blanket to cover mom and baby
-Phone charger for car
-Snack for mom
-Suction bulb to clear baby's airways
-Extra water
Extreme weather is a rough part about living in the mountains. If you have a precipitous birth on the road, call the emergency services immediately. As soon as baby is born, place him/her on mom's chest and cover him/her with the blanket to keep warm. Do NOT try to cut or tie the cord. If needed, you can suction out the airways with the nasal bulb, and stimulate the baby by rubbing their back with the towel.
We hope for safe deliveries for all our grand county residents. If you are due these winter months, find ways to prepare for the unexpected and be ready for anything. ❄️❄️❄️
