Do you have a crazy birth story? Like giving birth in a supermarket or a car?

I love reading other women's birth stories, particularly the crazy, dramatic ones! Stuff like women who have had cryptic pregnancies and don't know they're pregnant, until they go into labour. Or giving birth in a snowstorm and not being able to make it to hospital. Or precipitous labours that end up with delivering a baby in a Tesco carpark.

I've read all the Reddit and mumsnet threads I can find so I'm searching for more, whilst I'm lying around and feeling rotten in my first trimester.

I would share my birth story with my first dd but it was a very very average hospital birth. The most notable occurrence, was being served four miniscule, plain, boiled potatoes for my post-birth meal. Not even butter or salt.

Must have been a slow night in ERI when we went in - not only was DP offered tea and toast as I laboured loudly, he was offered a choice of jams 😂☕

None exciting of my own but my mother was a crane operator and gave birth to me 3 weeks early, I had to be lowered down to the ground by my mum as she was unable to walk down.
