Newsreader Victoria Fritz had just finished her segment on the morning news on BBC Breakfast when her waters broke and she had to be rushed to hospital after going into early labour.

Sports newsreader Sally Nugent, who went with Victoria to the hospital then had to step in as her birthing partner after Victoria’s husband was stuck in traffic.

Ms Fritz who was due to in early December gave birth to a baby boy, and the new mum tweeted that the delivery was a “BBC Breakfast team effort”.

Did your waters break in public?

    My 2nd child came 2 weeks early and started with my waters breaking as I stood looking in the fridge and trying to decide what to cook for dinner that night.
    My eldest was horrified and said “Mummy, dont pee on the floor”…LOL

  • Dedicated to the job up until the last minute ???? Shame that the dad wasn’t able to get there in time, must be disappointing for him.

  • Congratulations. Pity the Dad was stuck in traffic and not present for the birth of their baby son. She is lucky her waters didn’t break while she was on air. That would have been embarrassing. I’m a bit surprised she was still working when she only had 3 weeks before her due date. I wonder how much the baby weighs.

  • That’s one thing that is very hard to plan for – babies will come when they want, not when you want!

  • Wow! Babies certainly do come when they are ready!
