Derbyshire mum gave birth to twins in the footwell of her partner's BMW

Chloe Weston, 28, was caught by surprise when her waters broke on November 14, 2025, at 3:30pm - a week before her scheduled C-section.

The mum-of-four headed to Queen’s Hospital Burton with her partner, Adrian Bradbury, 33, but when they hit traffic, Chloe realised she wouldn't make it in time.

Adrian, a security office, pulled the car over, and 20 minutes after her contractions started, Chloe gave birth to twin boys, Koah and Kyro, just a minute apart.

The new-borns were wrapped in pink blankets - donated by a stranger - before going to the hospital, where they stayed for a week.

Now five months and thriving, Chloe says it was her "easiest birth".

Chloe, a stay-at-home mum, from Swadlincote in Derbyshire, said: "I gave birth to one twin by the time we had pulled over, but he fell in the footwell.

"By the time my partner came back with the police, I had given birth to the other twin.

“It only took about 30 minutes to give birth from when my contractions started. I caught them myself and held them to my chest. “I was in so much shock.

“But it was a really easy birth, I was listening to my own body. It was a better experience compared to being in a hospital environment."

Chloe, who is also mum to Jacob, six, and Leo, two, found out she was expecting twins in March 2025.

She had opted for a scheduled c-section that day, after being told her twins were breech and transverse.

But after she got back from her appointment, Chloe's waters broke at 3:30pm as she was about to enter her front door.

Chloe, who shared her story with Sell Us Your Story, said: “I wasn’t expecting to go into labour that day.

"I was worried as one of my babies was in breech and one was transverse, I didn't know how I was supposed to give birth.

"I didn't believe what was happening. It was all a bit of a whirlwind. I had to run inside my house to quickly pack a hospital bag."

Chloe and Adrian jumped in their car, but they got stuck in traffic on the A38, Willington, and the mum's contractions kept getting stronger.

With no choice but to push, Chloe gave birth to Koah, weighing 6lbs 4oz, as Adrian pulled the car over.

He got out and got help from police officers nearby - but by the time he arrived back, Chloe had already pushed out Kyro, weighing 5lbs 2oz.

"It happened within a few minutes," Chloe said. "I started getting contractions at 4:52pm and then half an hour later at 5:30pm, I gave birth to them within a minute of each other."

While the parents waited for the ambulance a local resident from Burton upon Trent “came out and donated us pink blankets to keep the babies warm."

Chloe said: "Adrian rang up the paramedics who came out first. He was panicking, asking if everything was OK.

"I told him that I had delivered both babies, and he seemed a bit relieved.

"The ambulance crew then came out, and they took the twins and me in separate ambulances - we all had an ambulance each.

"I was in the hospital for a week. Kyro was in ICEU for two days because he had low blood sugar, but Koah was perfect.

"When we left the hospital, I was still in shock. I was left the day before my originally scheduled c-section date, which was very surreal."

Now home and healthy, Chloe was able to track down the resident who helped them on Facebook to thank her for her kindness.

And Chloe does still think about the birth - but says it was her "easiest birth" despite previously "dreading it".

She said: “I’m still quite shocked, I do think about it quite a lot.

“I was absolutely dreading it, but the experience was completely different with the twins, and it was pretty much the easiest.

“If I was to have another child, I’d happily be in the car all over again. It was the easiest birth.”
