GEORGETOWN, Ky. (LEX 18) — A family returned to give thanks to Georgetown/Scott County EMS Paramedics on Friday after they helped deliver a baby girl back in May.

On Thursday, May 22, third shift paramedics with the Georgetown/Scott County EMS stepped up to help deliver a baby girl when it became clear the family wouldn't make it to the hospital in time.

A Facebook post by the GSCEMS reads, "a determined father rushed his wife, who was in active labor, toward Baptist Hospital. But their baby girl had other plans. When mom's water broke en route, dad made a quick decision and pulled into our Station 1 parking lot."

Three minutes later, the baby was born.

On Friday, the family returned to meet and thank the team who helped bring their daughter into the world.

The post ends with, "It was a touching moment full of gratitude, smiles, and new memories. We are honored to be part of stories like this, and even more honored to serve such amazing families in our community."
