An unborn baby in the United States has been credited with saving his father’s life. Sara McDonald was 7 and a half months pregnant, when, in the early morning hours of a Saturday morning, she woke up after receiving a strong kick from her unborn baby. What followed was what she described to CBS Atlanta as “one of the scariest moments anyone could go through,” when she discovered that her husband wasn’t breathing and had no pulse.
Thanks to the timely wakeup call, Mrs McDonald was able to try to resuscitate her husband and to call an ambulance. Although her own efforts at CPR were unsuccessful, two policemen who arrived were able to revive her husband. Sergeant Mike Hales thought at first that the man was dead. “We didn’t have a pulse. He wasn’t breathing.” However, after several dozen compressions, he began to breathe again.
This story has a happy ending, but it probably wouldn’t have turned out so well if the family’s newest member hadn’t placed his fortuitous kick. “It’s like my baby saved my husband’s life. And he’s not even here yet and he saved his dad’s life,” McDonald said. “It’s an amazing feeling and I don’t think anyone else can say that.”
