Girl, three, calls 999 after pregnant mum falls down stairs

A three-year-old girl helped her heavily pregnant mother call 999 after she fell down the stairs.

In the 999 call, Emma, who was alone in the house with her mother Catherine, told the emergency operator what had happened and where they lived.

She told call handler, Sarah Morris, mummy was not bleeding but had banged her head and "has a baby in her tummy".

Since the accident, which happened in November, her mother has successfully given birth to her little brother.

The eight-minute call has been edited by the BBC for brevity.
