Going into labor and bringing out a baby is a long process, one that has gone up to at least 12 hours or so.
But this mum gave birth in just 9 minutes.
Yes, you heard it right. 9 MINUTES.
A new mum had one of the shortest labors on record – delivering her first baby in just nine minutes.
Nicole Jamieson, 25, barely had time to get out of bed before her little boy Jack arrived on the bathroom floor at her flat.
And she put her early labor down to partner Jack Fallon, 25, singing Britney Spears song Baby One More Time.
She said: “He’s such a bad singer, I was crying with laughter so that must have been what set it off.
“It was nine minutes in total from my waters breaking. I was pushing for about two minutes.”
Nicole – who was three weeks from her due date – had initially thought she just needed the loo when her waters broke in the early hours.
She and Jack had been out all day and enjoyed chicken fajitas for tea when they got home in Wythenshawe, Gtr Manchester. They then stayed up late watching movies.
Nicole added: “Before I knew it, he was there, on the bathroom floor. It didn’t even hurt.”

Jack, a laborer, almost missed the birth as he ran outside to phone for help, due to the poor signal in the flat.
Nicole added: “When he saw what had happened, Jack grabbed the baby and shoved him on to my chest and then he started crying, so I knew he was OK.”
An ambulance arrived after half an hour to take them to hospital.
But Nicole only needed two paracetamol tablets, five hours after the birth.
She added: “As for motherhood, it’s great. Little Jack is amazing.”
Births that are short are extremely rare. Labour usually lasts at least 12 hours. The fastest UK time recorded is Daisy Stewart, 20, from Dundee, who says she gave birth in five minutes.
But an Australian mum beats the record giving birth in just 2 minutes.
