Dramatic arrival
Sara revealed baby Harris Walker arrived so quickly that he made his entrance to the world before the midwife had even arrived.
She explained baby Harris’s dramatic arrival to This Morning hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield.
My poor husband had to catch the baby as he ejected out.
“He was 10 days early and because he is my first, everyone was expecting him to be at least a week or so later so he took us by surprise,” Sara said.
“I was at home. I’d always wanted a water birth but hadn’t quite expected it to be in my bath, with no midwife present.

Holly and Phil congratulated the new mum, who said she feels an ‘overwhelming love sensation’ that she never knew she had in her.
Sara went on to explain that she didn’t realise she had been in labour for a couple of days, saying she thought she was having ‘muscle aches’.
What happened?
“He came out at about 9:20, we had to call the ambulance to make sure with the midwife not knowing what time they would get here for,” she said.
So it turns out I was probably in labour for a couple of days, but active labour was only two hours.
“The ambulance arrived around 20 minutes later, and then the midwife around 20 minutes after that. We were with the babe, just us.”
