But during the auto ride -- the road has not been asphalted in four years -- she experienced severe labour pain. The auto was stopped at Gurunathnagar but the nearest hospital was at least one-and-a-half kilometres away. With no respite, Paveenabanu 's mother decided to play midwife.With the help of two other women, Parveenabanu wrapped a saree around the auto to prevent people from peeking in. The maternity hospital staff came rushing to the auto and did their best to free the child and the mother.Fortunately, both the child and mother and are recovering. I was so scared when the child's head had popped out, I thought she would die or something bad would happen to me.
