“Something didn’t feel right and I thought it could be my appendix because of the really sharp pain. We spoke to 111 and they agreed that was possible and did an assessment, to see if we could save going to hospital under the current circumstances,” Emma explained.
However, before any medical assistance could reach, her pains got worse. “Then the pains got worse and I was lying down on the bed when my waters broke. Isabelle started to appear and Daniel could see her head and my mom shouted that I needed to really push.”

I just can’t sing Emma’s praises enough, she did an intensive job all day, took two painkillers and then gave birth. We couldn’t wait to get them both home.”
The couple who didn’t expect a baby is happy that their family is complete. Well, they’ll have an interesting story to tell Isabelle about her birth.
