Read this in the paper and couldnt beleive it !
A pregnant woman successfully gave birth to a baby girl on Fifth Avenue across from Central Park Friday as cheering well-wishers applauded the doctors who delivered the child.
Mount Sinai nursing manager Lucille Nassery said she heard the mom-to-be screaming from inside her office - and instantly recognized it as the sound of a pregnant woman.
"I heard a woman screaming and I said, 'That's the sound of someone having a baby,' said Nassery. "That sound is different than someone screaming in horror."
Elizabeth Brew, who was 33-weeks pregnant, and her husband were less than a block away from the hospital in their SUV when the baby's head began to crown, Nassery said.
Nassery, physicians and hospital staff rushed equipment to the middle of Fifth Avenue, where a crowd had formed to watch Dr. Anya Kogan deliver the 4-pound, 13-ounce baby.
The baby girl was delivered in time for staff to rush the 39-year-old Brew to a second-floor delivery room less than a block away - where she then gave birth to a 5-pound, 5-ounce twin boy.
"I'm sure for the mother it was kind of a tense experience but for us it was actually a lot of fun," added Nassery.
Brew, who has two kids home in Scarsdale, was recovering at the hospital. The two babies were expected to remain for a few weeks because they were born premature.
