Baby Coco interrupted her parent’s relaxing afternoon on the couch playing PlayStation when she decided she was ready to enter the world.

“I felt her kick and break the waters,” mum Harri Kaur said.

“The contractions got more severe and that was the moment I said let’s go to the hospital, she’s coming.

“Everything intensifies after broken waters, and I remember my hubby saying ‘yup, saving my game now’ while pacing and leaving the house.”

After a hurried exit from their home, Ms Kaur and her husband Darvin Domantay, of Forestville, were met with bumper to bumper traffic on South Road, blocking their path to the hospital.

“Contractions intensified and I couldn’t talk so I was screaming at the hubby, ‘I knew traffic would be the problem’,” Ms Kaur said.

“She had all day and she decided to come now.”

As Ms Kaur’s contractions became more regular and painful, her husband was ordered to call an ambulance.

What followed next was complete chaos as Mr Domantay attempted to communicate with the triple-0 operator while dealing with Ms Kaur’s screaming and heavy traffic conditions.

Eventually, the soon-to-be second time parents decided they needed to pull over.

“We pulled up at the Liberty service station and I said, ‘I’m not having this baby at a Liberty station for **** sake!,” Ms Kaur said.

Luckily, the ambulance arrived just in time and escorted the family to the emergency department.

“Hubby described traffic moving as when Moses split the ocean, thank goodness for the ambos,” Ms Kaur said.

Coco was born not long after Ms Kaur was admitted, to the delight of her overjoyed, yet exhausted, mum and dad.

“Just in the nick of time,” Ms Kaur said.

Now four weeks old, Ms Kaur said Coco is a “hungry and sleepy” baby who is loved by her older brother, Bronson.
