Sydney family reunited with emergency workers who helped deliver their baby

A south-western Sydney family has been reunited with the emergency workers who helped safely deliver their baby girl in their home gym.

Baby Victoria's unexpected birth occurred on March 6, when her parents' family's home gym was transformed into a makeshift birthing suite.

Mother Maria had been discharged from hospital about one hour before the birth. However, her labour progressed rapidly, and she and husband Dean had to call triple zero.

Call taker Grace MacWilliams provided guidance to Dean throughout the delivery process, saying, "Ok, so do not try to prevent the birth, tell her not to cross her legs," and "Allow her to resume the most comfortable position and have her take deep breaths between the contractions".

Just after midnight, Victoria was born. Seven months later, the family was reunited with Grace and the paramedics who helped deliver her. 

"Oh it was like she was next to me, not on the other end of the phone," Dean said of MacWilliams' help.

"Without her, I don't know what would have happened," he said. 

"You made me feel so safe, so it was amazing," Maria added.

But the triple-zero call-taker downplayed her role.

"No, you were a trooper, you knew what you were doing," MacWilliams said.

Paramedic Lucinda Peacock said it was "just beautiful" to see the happy family months later.

"We're not seeing her as a patient anymore, we're seeing her as a being with her mum and her dad and her brothers and it's just beautiful to see," she said.
