Microphone Stand Impales Pregnant Michigan Mom

GREEN OAK TOWNSHIP, Mich. -- Doctors are preparing for an emergency Caesarean section for a 34-year-old pregnant woman who was impaled by a microphone stand in Green Oak Township, Mich.

Jessie Wickham was listed in critical condition at the University of Michigan Hospital in Ann Arbor, Mich., according to reports by WDIV-TV in Detroit.


The accident happened at a home located in the area of Grand River and Academy around 7:30 a.m. Wednesday, according to fire officials.

Wickham was getting her children ready for school when she became dizzy and fell, crashing through a banister, Police Chief Robert Brookins said. Wickham, who was reportedly set to give birth in about two weeks, was impaled in the chest by the stand.

She fell onto the 3-foot microphone stand, which was amid musical instruments set up on the first floor, officials said.

Holy crap.. I feel terrible for her, hopefully she can pull through..

Jesus!! I hope she and the bay come out of this ok.

If it did not hit the heart nor any of the major arteries and veins, she & the baby should be okay if she is taken care of properly. 100 years ago she'd be long dead.

Wow! Truly strange. Thanks.

to the Insurance Company....

Hope they come thru okay....

I'm wondering WHO's microphone stand it is, and if the band will get it back when this is all done.

Bloody hell poor kid not even born yet

I read this article in the Detroit Free Press this morning: www.freep.com...

the mom is still in critical condition, but the baby was uninjured. hopefully they both will come out of it just fine.

Good news, thanks! Oh, this is too short, let me type some more stuff. This should be sufficient.
