Brave young mum delivers her own baby boy in front seat of moving taxi after waters break

A brave mother was put in the incredibly stressful position of giving birth to her son by herself while sitting in the middle of a moving taxi. Ebony-Paige Blank, 23, from Plymouth, delivered her beautiful baby, Khai, on February 28 in the front seat of the cab.

On the day Khai was born, Ebony says she was in the city centre with her mum when she began experiencing on and off contractions, Plymouth Live reports. The pain became much worse and she told her mum she needed to get a taxi and go home but before she could leave, Ebony started bleeding.

Despite this, she managed to stay calm and hailed a taxi and soon after her water broke whilst she was sitting in the passenger seat of the vehicle. Kind-hearted driver Bobby Bailey was made aware of the situation before Ebony got in his Taxi First cab and decided not to charge the young mum for her fare or any clean-up fees.
