Births attended by the ambulance service are generally those where the mother has been caught off guard and labour has progressed particularly rapidly or where the mother has been unaware of her pregnancy. There are also calls to cases where home births are planned and midwives are concerned and require a transfer, or where it is feared the midwife will not arrive before the baby and an ambulance is sent to assist in the interim.
