Mum gives birth after hospital turn her away and say 'take a bath'

QUICK, HERE COMES MOLLY!

LITTLE Molly Mai Landers was a baby in a hurry.

So much so that her mum, Kirstie Lynch, gave birth after an emergency stop in her dad’s car less than three hours after hospital staff urged the mum-to-be to take a warm bath.

Kirstie had thought she would be admitted to Huddersfield Royal Infirmary’s new birthing centre as she was having contractions.

But she had to get a taxi back home and Molly Mai was born in her local health centre after a desperate bid to get back to the hospital ended in a roadside drama.

Both mum and baby are fine and now at home in Deighton.

But Kirstie, 26, is unhappy that she was not admitted to the birthing centre.
