ASTONISHED Sophie Bugg (29) gave birth in what may be one of the quickest times ever with just one push — and 27 seconds.
Sophie was 38 weeks pregnant when she popped to the loo in the middle of the night only to leave the bathroom with a baby less than a minute later.
Her partner Chris (32) had to act fast as Sophie appeared outside the bathroom door with the baby’s head between her legs.
With just one big push, baby Millie was born into her astonished dad’s arms.
Despite her extremely quick arrival, she is doing well with her family at their home in Basingstoke, Hampshire (England).
The full-time mum-of-three, Sophie, said: “She was ridiculously fast. One moment I am texting my friend on the toilet about needing a poo and seconds later, I have got a baby in my arms.
“Actually pushing her out from when the lady on the phone told me to push only lasted 27 seconds, it was so fast.
“I had no pains and my waters hadn’t broken, there was no realisation I was having her at all. It sounds really crude but it just felt like I needed to go for a poo.I had messaged my friend saying I don’t feel great, then put the phone down from where I was sat on the loo and went to get up from the toilet. As I went to lift myself up, my body just got that feeling like I needed to push for a poo. So I sat back down, pushed, and as soon as I did that push, I knew it was not from behind.
“I put my hand between my legs and her head was completely out. I shouted to my partner for help, went from the toilet to outside my toilet door on the top of the stairs, did one push and she was out.”
This is not the first time Sophie has been taken by surprise by her speedy deliveries.
Back in 2013, the mum went to the toilet in the middle of the night and ended up delivering her first baby, Paige, now eight, just 12 minutes later. Little Paige was born still in her sac, which is why Sophie’s waters did not break and a paramedic was able to pop the sac safely.
Sophie was then booked in for an induction for her second child Lexie, now two, to ensure she was in hospital this time around.
She gave birth to Lexie just 26 minutes after being induced.
She said: “My first baby was quite an experience — you don’t expect anything like that with your first labour, to just be at home and then all of a sudden you have got a baby.
“You don’t know what to expect. You get told all these different things from people like you are going to have a show, you will have waters go, so you are waiting for these things to happen and they didn’t for me, so I didn’t think I was giving birth until her head was out.
“My second baby, the doctors were so worried with the fact of how quickly I had my first that they had me induced, so I was in hospital with my second, which was a relief.
“But then my third baby had the exact same plans as my first, but came even quicker. I couldn’t believe how quickly she arrived.
“My body doesn’t give me the signs of labour. My midwife and my consultant told me that I go from zero to baby, I don’t dilate like every normal person does.”
Sophie had been booked in to be induced a whole week before Millie was born but the cheeky little girl decided she was ready to come even earlier. — Mirror (UK)
