A mom from England delivered her own baby on the bathroom floor – just four minutes and two pushes! Check out her amazing story!
Gill Woolstencroft, 24, and her partner of seven years, 26-year-old Scott Robinson, had been watching TV when she suddenly began experiencing back pain. So she took two pills to help herself.
Later she was in the bath when her waters broke. Gill explained,
“I was in labour. It had just gone 3am and was a massive shock. I screamed for Scott to wake up and help me out of the bath.”
At 3.08am Scott lifted her out of the tub and went to get some towels.
But as Gill slumped on the toilet, she felt the baby’s head emerged. She said,
“As I sat down on the toilet I felt the baby’s head coming out and told Scott to ring 999. I knew I had to get off the toilet and kneel down on the floor because I didn’t want to have my baby there. I went on my knees, pushed once more and she came out, our beautiful baby girl. As I held her in my arms, it felt like a surreal moment. It felt unbelievable how quickly it had all happened – and then there she was.”
Around 3.12am Scott went back into the bathroom and saw his partner cradling their new baby. It happened just four minutes after her waters burst!
“I couldn’t believe what I saw. It happened so quickly and felt so surreal. One minute I was on the phone, the next minute Gill had had our baby. And she only took two paracetamol. She’s really a super mum,” he said.
Moments after the birth, their sleepy three-year-old daughter Lexie looked into the bathroom.
Gill said, “Lexie asked me why I woke her up and I said ‘your sister wanted to meet you’ and then she realized the baby was in my arms.”
Then Gill and baby Alyssa went to the hospital. But at 1pm that day, they were back at home. She said,
“The hospital doctors couldn’t believe I had given birth at home, and so quickly. Everyone was so shocked. With my first baby, Lexie, the birth was only 40 minutes, so I thought this one would be fast. But not four minutes. When Alyssa is older I will tell her how significant her entrance into the world was. It’s so special she was born in our family home and is something I don’t think I will ever forget.”
