Georgina (31), an office worker in Simonstone, said: “We arrived at the hospital at 2-30 p.m. and my midwife was due to finish her shift.
“But she said she wanted to hang on until my baby was born, as she would be the 1,000th one.
“I was only in labour for two hours, and everything went really smoothly with Mia making a bit of a diva-style entrance!’’
