Giving birth is probably one of the crucial moments for any pregnant woman.

It is a death and life situation since a mother or the child might not survive the process.

After all, when the delivery is successful, it gives a priceless feeling to moms.

Speaking of successful delivery, a mother delivered a child despite her strenuous situation.

A hospital in Butuan caught fire and while the patients are being evacuated, a pregnant woman who was about to give birth arrived.

According to Dr. Carissa Cay Castanio, the child’s head is already visible so she helped the pregnant woman with her delivery while the flame is engulfing the hospital.

After the fire incident, the mother and the child were brought inside the hospital and they are now in stable condition.

This is not the first time that such an incident happened but in a different scenario.

Last year, a pregnant woman gave birth at a vaccination facility in Makai City.

According to Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), the husband of the 26-year-old woman rushed to their main headquarters asking for help.

It was around 5:27 p.m. when the woman was brought by her husband- a tricycle driver to MMDA headquarters.

The vaccination team prepared a makeshift delivery table while waiting for the ambulance to come. But 14 minutes later, the woman gave birth to a healthy baby girl.
