Poor Billie Ward looked relieved after giving birth in her bathroom at home while medics checked over her beautiful newborn.

Her birth came as a shock to her because she had been told it was unlikely that she would give birth on her due date. After being in pain for around an hour she called 999 and was told she was most likely in labour. 

Billie is now speaking out to urge other expectant mums to listen to their bodies and to not put off going into hospital.

Billie had been told by midwife Arete, that she would most likely give birth late and that she was most likely to be induced in February. 

On the 22 January, she began to experience pains, which worsened as the night went on. Billie called the maternity unit but because her water had not broken, she stayed at home because she didn't think it was that serious.

Things started to become more serious and Billie was forced to call an ambulance but she still wasn't sure if she was in full labour.

It was only when she was on the phone being coached by call handlers that she was told to 'go for it' if she needed to push.

Medics arrived on the scene at 5.05 am, Billie was lying on the bathroom floor, and she gave birth at 5.10 am. A pretty close call if you ask us.

After giving birth, Billie was taken to hospital where she was stitched up and sent home the same day.

We are so glad that Billie was able to bring such a beautiful soul into the world safely.
