The fourth child of a Tyrolean couple did not want to wait for the clinic. The birth took place next to the Brenner motorway A13. It was also a special experience for the emergency services.
They already had two boys and a girl. Now Teresa and Christof Senfter had child number four from Mieders. And this one couldn’t wait to see the light of day. Late in the evening of June 25, the Stubai ambulance was called to take the heavily pregnant woman to the clinic in Innsbruck.
“The patient walked in and we could expect a nice transport without complications,” recalls paramedic Florian Schöpf.
Fruit sac burst on the Europa Bridge
But then everything happened very quickly. Teresa’s waters broke on the Europa Bridge. The ambulance crew spontaneously decided to perform a delivery in the ambulance. They stopped at the Zenzenhof exit.
After just a few moments, little Emanuel looked up at them. “It was a very quick delivery. It felt like it only took two minutes,” says Schöpf. Because the child had the umbilical cord around its neck, the removal of the cord also took place in the ambulance.
“The mother was completely calm”
Paramedic Daniel Köll praised the parents: “The mother was completely calm and not stressed during the entire birth – and the father was relaxed too.”
How did it actually feel for the mother? “We already had a feeling that the birth would take place that day. In the ambulance on the A13 I had a strong contraction, a short pause and then another one. Suddenly the waters broke and I knew the birth was imminent.”
