While pregnant with her third child, Ashly Moreau, Jayden’s Mom woke up one morning to use the bathroom at 34 weeks into her pregnancy. Her water broke because she was rushing to go pee and didn’t have time to stop. Soon she noticed her infant’s toes protruding.

Ashly’s children were the only ones in the house because her fiancé had already gone to work that morning. As a result, 10-year-old Jayden and his 11-month-old sister were the only ones present at home when their Mom went into labor. Ashly said, “The scariest thing I’ve ever been through in my life.”

Jayden ran to the bathroom to find his mother needing assistance with her unborn son’s feet already in full view. Luckily, Jayden was there to help her through her ordeal. Ashly says her baby didn’t appear to be breathing when she saw him because she noticed that the baby’s feet looked a bit purple. By that time, Jayden rushed over to his grandmother’s house, and they called the police for emergency services.

He gently pulled on his brother’s leg while Ashly pushed as hard as she could. They kept at it until the delivery of the infant was complete. But his brother came out still and wasn’t breathing. Jayden then rushed to the kitchen to retrieve a nasal aspirator to help his brother start breathing.
