Student midwife hailed for staying by terrified Scots mum's side after shift ends

A hero Scots student has been hailed after she stayed by a terrified mother's side after her shift had ended.

Roxana Ghita, from Colinton in Edinburgh, was forced to have a C-section due to complications - and even though the mum-of-two had had one before, she was still anxious. The surgery was scheduled for a couple of hours later so the 36-year-old's husband would have plenty of time to make it.

However, as reported by Edinburgh Live, just 30 minutes later health professionals decided now was the time and they needed to do the surgery. Roxana phoned her husband and explained before trying to make peace with the fact he wouldn’t be by her side for the surgery and birth.
