Article summary: 9 month pregnant woman as a was in a multicar collision accident. While experiencing severe cramps and contractions, she got out and helped keep a lady trapped in an overturned car calm and stable until medics arrived. She went to the hospital where it was discovered the collision caused the baby to turn sideways in the womb. Thankfully, she was okay and gave birth to a healthy girl.

She was a firefighter and was on deskduty during the pregnancy.

Thanks. This is far less grim that what I expected.

Yeah, from the title I thought this was gonna be another one of those "capitalism is fucked, but here's a reframing to make the situation seem heartwarming" like all those stories about gofundme's being fulfilled for live saving medical procedures, teachers giving up their own PTO for another teacher who ran out because they had to miss so much work for chemo, or like some 8 year old selling lemonade to make money to give to homeless people. Thought this was gonna be like "9 months pregnant firefighter forced to be on the job fighting fires because her county doesn't allow any maternity leave".
