May Day: Watertown Midwife

"Watertown police sergeant delivers his fifth baby

Watertown police Sergeant Steve Skowronski is getting to be an old hand at delivering babies. The Waterbury Republican-American reported that Skowronski assisted for the fifth time in a birth on Thursday. The baby girl, Aloise Roberti, was born in her grandmother’s kitchen. Bronwyn Hamill said she went to her mother’s home when she began feeling contractions. She said she called 911 when she realized they would not make it to Saint Mary’s Hospital in time. Skowronski responded. He is a former supervisor for American Medical Response and also serves as a first aid instructor. He said he had delivered four babies in his work as a paramedic, and it was nice to do it again."
