Kiwi mum's shock ‘I HAD MY BABY ON THE BACK SEAT!'
There’s only one thing Roxanne Faithfull can clearly recall about her mad dash to the hospital. On all fours in the back of the car, with her partner Andrew driving as fast as he dared down Auckland’s Northwestern Motorway, she could feel her baby coming.

“That’s when I looked out the window and there’s this guy on a motorbike looking in at me with pure shock on his face,” Roxy, 34, tells Woman’s Day. “It’s the only thing I vividly remember – this poor man just trying to get to work at 6am and he sees that. Poor guy!”

And it was just as she and Andrew, 41, approached the hospital that her little man decided he couldn’t wait to be born, with baby Axel arriving in the back seat of his mum and dad’s car in the early hours of the 22nd of January.

By the time they pulled up to the front entrance, an emotional Roxy was holding her son in her arms, having delivered him herself in the back seat. “Axel is the perfect name for a baby who was born in a car!” the proud mum laughs. “And I’ll tell you – that back seat is never going to be the same again.”

Six weeks on from his dramatic delivery, baby Axel is a picture of calm, but his mum is still in shock when she thinks about how he arrived into the world.
