Do-It-Yourself Is Successful In Childbirth
NEW YORK (AP) - A young woman doctor calmly delivered her own baby on the front seat of her car yesterday while her jittery husband was driving her to a hospital.
Asked if she had been concerned about delivering the baby unassisted in such cramped quarters, Dr. Helen Stein, 25, said:
"Gosh, no. Women today make too much of giving birth. The natural way is the best. This was by far my easiest delivery. And my other two boys, Erin, 2, and Marvin, 1, were born in the hospital."
Mrs. Stein, an intern at Long Island College Hospital in Brooklyn, had gone on a jolting ambulance ride earlier on an emergency maternity case.
She helped deliver the woman's baby and then went home. A short while later she told her husband Martin she thought her own time had come.
Mrs. Stein and her new five-pound son were reported in good condition at Long Island College Hospital.
