Emma Hartnett went into labour two weeks early and didn't manage to make it to hospital

Leah's Mum Emma Hartnett and her partner Jonah were just leaving their third floor apartment for the hospital after Emma's waters broke two weeks early. However the family didn't manage to make it to the hospital and Jonah delivered his baby daughter at home with the help of a midwife on the end of a phone

Leah had to run down three flights of stairs to flag down the ambulance and enter the passcode so they could enter the building and give the medical assistance needed by Emma and her new born daughter

Mom Emma and her baby Allie are all home now and self isolating and speaking to RedFM News Emma says Leah was the hero of the hour:
