that was an easy birth...

Mom gives birth, goes down a toilet? WTF?

A baby was trapped down a toliet for seven hours after being born prematurely.

The mum was crouched over the hole-in-the-floor loo when her waters broke — and the baby popped out. The tot plunged out of sight, its umbilical cord still attached.

The mum screamed for help and doctors, plumbers and firemen raced against time to save the tot. A special camera was put into the drain to check the child’s position, and it was carefully pulled free.

The baby was resuscitated and rushed to hospital in Changzhou, China. An onlooker said: “The woman was almost uncontrollable at first.

“It was touch and go. The baby wasn’t in a good way when they got it out, but luckily they were able to save it.” Last night mum and baby were doing well.
