Surprise!

Great story:

It was just too much to take in. As I remember it all, I find myself imagining how that woman soldier must be feeling now. My mind was all over the place. I was in complete shock when, round about midday, my husband came upstairs to look for me. He knocked on the bathroom door to make sure I was all right. And there I was sitting with a six-pound, three-ounce baby boy on my lap, with the umbilical cord still around his neck. I blurted out: “I’m so sorry, I didn’t know.” Martin was just horrified but he told me it was OK, unwrapped the umbilical cord and then went for help. telegraph
