Surprise deliveries: Black Country babies born in unlikely places
Babies have a habit of appearing at the most inconvenient time.
Yesterday Primark saw one, in the past Asda in Oldbury has had one, whilst another arrived on a Texaco petrol station forecourt.
We've delved through the archives to find some of the most memorable arrivals with you.
In July 2013 Ella Yeomans was born in a lift after her parents and three paramedics became trapped in a lift at St Giles Court in Rowley Regis. (Her parents used the 'Ella'vator inspiration to name her).
Oliver Jeavons was also born in a lift, whilst his little brother Jonathan arrived in his grandmother's Ford Fiesta. (A speedy labour is a common theme in all of these.)
Numerous Black Country babies have been born in cars, often into the passenger well, and in pub car parks, and on the area's motorways.
An unexpected home birth with fathers, grandmothers, and even great-grandmothers standing in as midwives as babies made a speedy appearances was by far the most common of uncommon places for babies to be born.
