British Schoolgirl Delivers Her Baby Sister – And Goes To School Straight After

This is quite an achievement.

It was just another morning for Tamworth girl Caitlin Burke. She got up, got ready for school, and delivered her new baby sister single handedly. Yes. You read that right.

Caitlin’s mother Tara Knightley went into labour at around 5am according to The Guardian.

The schoolgirl rang an ambulance and was given help from an operator over the phone to successfully deliver her baby sister Elsa-Monet at 7.17am.

 

‘I don’t know what I would have done if Caitlin had not been there. I couldn’t do what Caitlin has done at my age, let alone at the age of 11,” she said. “She has such a bond with her baby sister now. She can’t leave her alone and keeps saying how much she loves her.’ her mother Tara said.

The best thing is that Caitlin just headed off to school afterwards, absolutely no bother.
