When mum-of-one Lucy Jinks thought about how her second baby would be born, it is unlikely 'in a car park' made its way into her birth plan.

And when woke up early one Saturday morning, she couldn’t have imagined giving birth in a car park just two hours later.

It was also a surprise for nurses finishing their nightshift at Epsom Hospital.

Lucy, 33, was downstairs in the kitchen when her waters broke at around 6am on September 16.

Her husband, Dale, hurriedly set off with Lucy on the ten minute drive to the hospital from their home in Headley Court.

“It was crazy,” Lucy told Sutton Guardian. “We had literally just pulled up outside A&E. If it took us any longer my husband would have had to deliver her.”

The mum was briefly left on her own on the passenger seat as her husband ran to seek help.

She said: “I was in the passenger seat and I remember a lot of people coming. One guy was helping along with two nurses.

“The guy said ‘do you feel like you can push’ and the baby then came out feet first.”

Nobody was aware that the baby was breeched. Fortunately the delivery was successful and Lucy avoided a C-Section.

She said: “The staff were pretty shocked. Luckily things went ok.

“It was a bit of excitement for the nurses coming off their night shift. With all the commotion we didn’t know the time she was born.

“I remember a nurse saying ‘it was about five minutes ago’ so we went with 7.15am,” Lucy laughed.

Baby Indy was born eight pounds nine ounces and is now “good as gold” according to her mum.

Lucy said: “It worked out well in the end because I was able to leave hospital on the same day. There was no real recovery time.

“I’m just glad I didn’t have to have a C-Section. The last time I had my son (Sonny, now three) it was a long labour and I had to have pain relief.

“This time I felt a lot better.”
