5th January 2006 Seventh baby born in less than half and hour A mother is celebrating the arrival of her seventh child, who was born in only 26 minutes. Joanna Dearing, of Saxmundham in Suffolk, went into labour at quarter past midnight on Tuesday and baby Eleaner arrived at 12.41am weighing 6lb 11ozs. When Mrs Dearing's waters broke on Monday her husband Robin and mother-in-law Linda became emergency midwives. The couple had been planning a hospital delivery but were taken by surprise at baby Eleaner's speedy arrival. Mrs Dearing said, "Robin was panicking at one point. He thought we could stop and wait. But no, she wanted to come." And the proud father added, "Luckily I had enough time to go to the phone and call Ipswich Hospital who talked me through the delivery while my mother held the phone to my ear. "It was incredible... A very emotional time and one I'll never forget. Right now talking about it... it brings tears to my eyes." Eleaner's two year old sister Harriet slept through the night's events. Her brother Josh also made a speedy arrival four years ago when he was born in an ambulance. Where to next?
