I had baby on bedroom floor

-

NO BEDS Jade with her children Scott and Evie and partner James JADE Barrett was turned away at Southampto­n’s Princess Anne Hospital on New Year’s Day 2015 in labour with her second child Evie.

The 30-year-old, from New Milton, said: “We rang the hospital and they told us they had no beds, they were fully booked.

“When they told me they didn’t have any room I thought, ‘My God, I’m going to have her at home’. My partner James was panicking.“

Midwives did not think she would make it to Bournemout­h and told her to ring an ambulance instead. Jade ended up giving birth on her son Scott’s bedroom floor at home. It was thankfully quick and complicati­on-free.
