Tiah Parsan, 27, and Kieran Warner, 31, were en route to the hospital at 1:30am when Tiah suddenly screamed she could “see the head.”

Acting quickly, Kieran pulled their Citroën C4 over and climbed into the back seat just in time to catch their daughter, Kehlani, in his arms—right outside the Wagamama eatery.

With the umbilical cord wrapped around Kehlani’s neck, Kieran carefully unwrapped it before placing her on Tiah’s chest and covering her with blankets.

Overjoyed by the safe arrival of their baby, the couple FaceTimed their family to share the wonderful news before the ambulance arrived to transport them to the hospital.

To commemorate the extraordinary birth, Tiah and Kieran plan to start an annual tradition of having dinner at the Wagamama restaurant in Bristol.

Tiah, who works as a fanbase coordinator at Rambert Dance Company, recalled the moment, saying: “In the first two minutes of getting in the car I knew it was going to happen. I told Kieran my waters had broke and I’m going to have her.

“The hospital were on the phone and asking what street we were on, saying we’d make it. But obviously we didn’t make it.”

Tiah added: “You hear these stories about it and then when it actually happens to you it’s so weird. I don’t think I felt scared at the time, more just I need to get her out and once she was out that’s when the shock set in.

“It seemed quicker than it actually was as well. It was quite nice and chilled before and almost funny that it was happening but then the last 10 minutes in the car it all happened once. When we look back on it now, it’s quite funny that we didn’t have time to get there. It’s actually a nice memory to have.”

Tiah said the day after the birth, as they drove past the location where Kehlani was born, Kieran became emotional. While they’re looking forward to telling their daughter about her unique arrival, Tiah added the £70 cleaning fee for the car “wasn’t fun”.

Tiah had been experiencing back pains around 11 pm on May 29, but the baby arrived much faster than expected. Her water broke just five minutes into their journey to St Michael’s Hospital in Bristol, and shortly after, she knew the baby was coming.

Kieran, a professional dancer and circus artist, said: “We called the hospital again and they said ‘you’ve got 10 minutes to get there, you’ll be fine’. But then we got a bit further down the road and Tiah screamed that there was a head and we had to pull over.

“A woman in labour anyway is a scary thing to experience regardless just to see how much pain they’re in. She couldn’t sit comfortably in the car and in my head, I was thinking I know I’m a safe driver but it’s at night and a drunk driver could whizz past.

“In the relationship I’m usually the calm one anyway and I was trying to stay in that mindset. There wasn’t much time from seeing the top of the head and her suddenly being out. In the moment of it all it was just about staying calm and acting as comfortable as I can.”

With their newborn daughter in his arms, Kieran began to worry about the amount of blood she was losing. He said: “The paramedics couldn’t give us an ETA and they think she lost about two pints of blood in the end. I was scared because I didn’t know how much she could lose before it got serious.”

After FaceTiming Tiah’s mum, who wasn’t surprised due to her daughter’s evident pain, the couple was swiftly transported to the hospital. Following a night under medical care, Tiah and Kehlani received a clean bill of health.

Kieran, who has another daughter named Zaya, one, added: “I’m definitely down for an annual Wagamama’s thing.”
