Being in labour didn't stop this doctor from delivering another woman's baby
This is amazing!
When Dr Amanda Hess went into labour, she didn't expect to end up helping another woman deliver her baby in a story that PROVES women are pros at multitasking!
Amanda was literally preparing to give birth at Frankfort Regional Medical Center, in Kentucky, when she rushed to the aid of Leah Halliday, a mum who was experiencing difficulties.

Leah's doctor was on the way but the mum was fully dilated and the baby was in distress, according to The Mirror.
Dr Hess knew there was no time to waste, so she put another gown on to cover her modesty, popped a pair of boots on over her shoes and got stuck in.
"I just put on another gown to cover up my backside and put on some boots over my shoes, to keep from getting any fluid and all that stuff on me, and went down to her room," the mum-of-two said.

"Doctors are always thinking of their patients even when they’re a patient themselves."
Leah went on to deliver a little girl although no name has been released.
Amanda also gave birth to a little girl, Ellen Joyce.
Such an incredible story!
