“Yes I delivered it in Richmond Park and the afterbirth came out, and the clots, I got rid of the clots.
“Then I got the afterbirth out, then I bit it loose then I tied it into a knot, and then I just called for help and eventually an ambulance came.
“I was covered in blood, my shirt was covered in blood, I was wrapping her, wiping her, [saying] ‘it’s alright darling’.
“And I was licking the baby’s face.”

fair play to the bloke but I’m not sure licking the baby is strictly necessary? It wasn’t something any of the midwives did when my kids were born.
