Axel Murray, currently 2 days old, couldn’t wait to start living. The baby boy ᴡᴀs ʙᴏʀɴon Saturday morning, in a hurry, two weeks before his ᴅᴜᴇ ᴅᴀᴛᴇ and minutes before his mum could make it into the ʜᴏsᴘɪᴛᴀʟ.
Roxanne Faithfull and partner Andrew Murray rushed from their central Aᴜᴄᴋʟᴀɴᴅ apartment to the ʜᴏsᴘɪᴛᴀʟ as quickly as they could in the early hours of Saturday, after her water ʙʀᴏᴋᴇ at 4am and the couple timed the ᴄᴏɴᴛʀᴀᴄᴛɪᴏɴs.
Dad said: “He was two weeks early. We hadn’t packed the car or had anything ready, still in awe of his partner. It was Rox’s second child but her first was 13 years ago.” Roxanne’s first baby ᴡᴀs ʙᴏʀɴafter 22 hours in ʟᴀʙᴏᴜʀ so the couple were expecting a similar experience this time around. Baby Axel had other ideas. It was a short trip to Aᴜᴄᴋʟᴀɴᴅ ʜᴏsᴘɪᴛᴀʟ but baby Axel decided to ʙᴇ ʙᴏʀɴ in the back seat of the car, birthed and delivered by mum Roxanne.
The dad recalled: “With all these modern gadgets mums have these days I was packing everything she needed, going to and unboxing and (ʙᴀᴅʟʏ ʟᴏʟ) trying to figure out how to fit the baby seat to the back seat of the car. She was all fine and then, ʙᴏᴏᴍ, she was ready. I did not have a ᴍɪᴅᴡɪꜰᴇ or any healthcare professional near them but did not feel alone, we live on the top floor right in the C.B.D on Aʟʙᴇʀᴛ Sᴛ. It as a long long corridor past all the other apartments and then an open lift so it felt like the whole complex was with us.
They almost made it to Aᴜᴄᴋʟᴀɴᴅ ʜᴏsᴘɪᴛᴀʟ in time but, with the ɴᴇʀᴠᴏᴜs dad driving as fast as he could, the mum continued to ʟᴀʙᴏᴜʀ in the back seat. He said: “We almost got there. I drove into the parking gate as I went past the ticket booth. She was screaming, ‘it’s coming’. It was a very fast drive. The ʜᴇᴀᴅ was already showing. We then got to the front entrance and she was holding him in her arms.”
While holding her child in the rear seat of the automobile, the mother sobbed with delight. The mom and the child are doing well. Rox and Axel were transferred to Bᴛ, but because her body was still in Bᴛᴛᴜʀᴍᴏɪʟ, she had to go back to the ʜᴏsᴘɪᴛᴀʟ on Saturday night. She returned to Bᴛ on Sunday. Axel’s proud parents are eager to bring him home. Although his father is ecstatic, he claims that the rear seat will never be quite the same.
