A mum has claimed she gave birth to her daughter while she was sleeping. 

Amy Dunbar had been in labour for 12 hours and was in an incredible amount of pain when she was told that she’d need an epidural.

Shortly after, she felt a ‘big contraction’ and then fell asleep.

When she woke up, her baby was next to her.

She said: “My baby was in the bed. She had delivered herself while I was asleep. That big contraction the nurse saw was her being born.”

In a follow-up video, she continued: “So I pulled back the blanket and she was laying in a ball on the bed and it just kind of blew up from there. My dad stepped out into the hall and yelled ‘We need help!’

“And all of a sudden so many doctors and nurses just flooded the room and she wasn’t crying, so of course I’m freaking out.”

Fortunately, the nurses checked over the baby and reassured Dunbar that she was completely fine.

“It was really scary but it turned out okay,” the mum added.

Since sharing her story, Dunbar’s post has received thousands of comments, as many have joked her daughter must be a ‘strong, independent woman’.

A viewer said: “Baby is like ‘I’ll do it myself’.”

Another added: “This is what people don’t understand. No need to scream and push. If the baby is healthy and the mum is okay, leave them alone. Baby will come out!”
