IT WAS definitely a case of baby on board for one new dad – as he was forced to deliver his new daughter in the front of his car.

Daryl Hurlock, 30, from Weymouth, was had no choice but to deliver the baby himself after being caught short when rushing his fiancé, Cherryl Nash to hospital.

Despite getting to the hospital, Daryl had to deliver Billie-Christina Hurlock in the car outside Dorset County Hospital.

“Cherryl was supposed to be having the baby on November 11 and she was set to be induced on November 27.

“On the Friday morning, the contractions started, so we went to hospital, but we got sent home again because she wasn’t quite ready.”

The couple got back from the hospital shortly after 1pm and had been told it could be up to 48 hours until the baby arrived.

Then, at around 2.30am on Sunday morning, Cherryl’s waters broke and the baby was on her way.

The couple bundled in to their car and made their way up the Ridgeway.

The couple did make it to DCH but were just too late and Cherryl gave birth in the front passenger seat of the Vauxhall Vectra.

Daryl said: “We basically stopped right outside door and I ran to the buzzer.

“When I came back to the car the baby had started to come out.

“The next thing I know, I can see the top of the baby’s head.

“I just told her to push and she pushed the baby in to my hands in the car.

“Then all the midwives came out and wrapped up the baby and took her in to the hospital.”

Despite the drama, mum and baby were on their way home by 5pm that day.

Daryl said that he had no choice in what he did and that everyone is recovering well.

He said: “They’re both good, they’re both really well.

“It’s not my first child.

“If it was I don’t think I would have handled it quite so well.

“I had no choice. But we’re really happy.”

Billie-Christina is the couple’s second child together and Daryl’s third.
