Great Ormond Street Hospital Delivers Baby

A hospital known for treating kids that are sick or that have cancer has delivered the very first baby in over 157 years. At Great Ormond Street children’s hospital the staff had to be quick on their feet when Nicola Tyler went into labor. Nicola had been visiting her 6-year-old daughter, Kelly, who has Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.

As we all know, babies don’t care where you are when they want to be born. A newborn will make a mom deliver on the side of the road, at home, in a store, at a gas station, on a plane or at a hospital. There is no way you are going to stop that baby from coming out if it is time. Thankfully the staff was able to set Nicola up a room and the paramedics got to the hospital as quickly as they could. Baby and mom were doing just fine after the event and Kelly got to see her new baby brother right away, even calling in the staff to show him off.
SkyNews:

The 157-year-old central London hospital treats sick babies and children but does not have a maternity unit, and there are no records of children ever having been born there.

Baby Zac decided to arrive while his mother Nicola Tyler, 32, was staying with her six-year-old daughter Kelly, who is having treatment for Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma there.

Before she left home for Kelly’s nine-day stint, Nicola, from Canvey Island, Essex, told her partner Dave Abbott: “I’m scared I’m going to have him up there.”

Her fears came true four days later when she went into labour on Elephant ward.

Baby Zac joins his two sisters, 6-year-old Kelly and 9-year-old Chloe, his dad Dave and mom, Nicola. Dave and Chloe were actually at home and made it slightly too late for the delivery but I’m sure they are thrilled to have the new addition.
