A Bristol woman ended up giving birth in a car outside Five Guys on her way to hospital - and her partner made it to the back seat just in time to catch their newborn baby girl. Tiah Parsan was on her way to St Michael's with her partner Kieran Warner, when she realised they were not going to make it.
The couple, from Bishopsworth, welcomed their daughter Kehlani into the world on May 30, in a rather unconventional way - while parked up on the Clifton Triangle. Tiah, 26, said: "We got into the car at about 1.15am and then we had to stop after five minutes of driving. I said to my partner 'I need to stop, my waters have broken and she's coming'."
The couple, who also have a one-year-old daughter called Zaya, believed while Tiah was in labour that, even if their second time took half as long as their first (11 hours), they would still have plenty of time to get to the hospital. Tiah was familiar with the type of pains she had experienced during the birth of her first born and so, after starting to feel "a bit different" during the day, she got in the bath and then at 11pm she says she felt a "definite contraction".
