Baby born by C-section after parents involved in 'scary' car accident while heading to hospital
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A British couple welcomed their baby girl weeks early after they were involved in a car accident – which left them both with broken ankles – while on the way to the doctor for an appointment.
Ginny Magrath and Mike Roberts, both 29, were involved in the accident on Aug. 14 as they drove toward the Princess Royal Hospital in Telford, England, according to SWNS.

When Ginny arrived at the hospital, doctors informed her that her unborn child’s heart rate was “up and down” and recommended she undergo an emergency C-section.

“I was very apprehensive, but the team [was] fantastic,” Ginny told SWNS. "The anesthetist talked to me throughout the whole procedure and kept me distracted and made the whole process so much easier.”

Mike and Ginny were reunited after Amber – who is “doing really well,” Ginny said – was born.
