First-time mother has one of the shortest labours on record at just nine minutes

A first-time mother who have birth on the bathroom floor is believed to have had one of the shortest labours on record after giving birth in nine minutes - and was pushing for just two.

Nicole Jamieson, from Wythenshawe, Manchester, barely had time to get out of bed before her 6 lbs 3 oz son Jack arrived suddenly in the middle of the night.

The 25-year-old hotel receptionist didn't even realize she was in labour and initially thought she needed the loo.

Nicole and partner Jack Fallon, 25, had been outside enjoying the sunshine on May 7 as Nicole was still three weeks from her due date.

Returning home that evening, they had chicken fajitas for dinner before staying up late watching films.

At 1.55am Nicole's waters broke, but she put it down to Jack making her cry with laughter by singing a rendition of Britney Spears' hit Baby One More Time.

The new mum said: 'Jack was making me laugh, he'd been doing stupid voices and singing Britney Spears.

'I was crying with laughter so that must have been what set it off. I didn't even realize I was in labour.

'He was making me laugh that much. I told him to stop it because I needed to go to sleep, but as I turned over I felt this big pressure drop down. It was my waters, but I didn't know it was my waters.'

Nicole ran to the bathroom thinking she'd wet herself. She ran herself a bath but after seven minutes felt the need to push.

'The next thing I knew he was there, on the bathroom floor,' she said. 'I looked at my phone just after and it was 2.04am.'

Jack, a labourer, almost missed the birth as he'd run outside in his boxers to call for help due to the poor phone signal in the flat but he made it back just in time to grab his newborn son as he popped out.
