It’s not every day that a baby comes into the world on the side of the road. But that’s what happened with baby Evie in January this year. Little Evie was delivered with the assistance of Ambulance Call-Taker Jessica Stewart in the family car, on the side of Burwood Highway.
When 31-year-old Mum Ashlie went into labor with her second baby, Ashlie and her partner Ben hopped into their car and headed to hospital. But her waters broke enroute., Ben had no choice but to pull up! They called triple zero and following Call-Taker Jessica’s instructions Ashlie and Ben delivered their brand-new baby girl. According to Ben, Evie wasn't waiting for anyone - born in just 20 seconds! Evie is just one of 139 babies Triple Zero Victoria Call-Takers help deliver each year.
I AM 000 is recorded on Boon Wurrung land and we acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which we live and work and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture and acknowledge their elders past, present and emerging.
