9-Year-Old Praised For Helping Mom Deliver Newborn Sister At Home
“I just screamed for my daughter to come in,” she said. “I was like, ‘Something’s happening, you’re going to have to look and tell me what’s going on because I don’t know.’ I kind of just felt intense pressure and like [the baby’s] head was coming out.”
While speaking with Good Morning America, Gunn admitted she was concerned with her daughter’s age and unsure if she could carry out the task at hand. But, given the severity of the situation, the mother of three said she had no other choice but to get her daughter’s assistance.
“In that moment I was like, this is a moment we’re going to have to share together and it’s a bond her and her sister will have forever,” she said. “All that other stuff just went away out of my mind and I focused on the moment at hand.”
Gunn is a nurse and certified doula and while enduring pain, she was able to guide her daughter through the delivery.
She says Aakayla was a bit hesitant to assist at first, but she jumped right in. During the delivery, Aakayla was able to safely grab her newborn sister Aubree and pass her off to her mom.
