A teacher gave birth to her son in a supermarket car park after a passing ambulance mistook the dad's call for help as cheering

A teacher gave birth to her son in a supermarket car park after an ambulance failed to stop because the driver thought the baby's father was just cheering them on.

Hannah and Andy Howells were driving to the Princess Anne Hospital in Southampton on 19 April when she realised they were not going to arrive in time. They pulled over into a Sainsbury's Local car park and Mr Howells tried to flag down a passing ambulance. Mrs Howells, 33, said:"Andy was trying to wave, but they quite rightly thought we were clapping for the amazing work they're doing."We parked up and called the Labour Line and then 999 and the amazing lady who took the call and talked my husband through delivering our baby."Wilf was already halfway out on the front seat of the car and I still had my seat belt on."

After Mr Howells helped deliver baby Wilf, who weighed 6lbs 7oz, the same ambulance that had passed them earlier returned and took mother and child to hospital to be checked over.
