A mum gave birth on the toilet after mistaking her baby’s head for a POO.
Marie Delanote, 35, was stunned when little Eloise ‘popped out’ 17 weeks early after relieving herself at her home in Basildon, Essex.
The mum-of-four said: “I’d been constipated for a few days and remember needing to go for a big toilet.
“I felt something odd between my legs and rushed back into the bathroom thinking I’d soiled myself."
“But when I looked in the full-length mirror, I saw my baby’s head between my legs," she added. "The whole thing really was very dramatic.”
Three weeks before the birth, Marie had suffered a sore throat which quickly transcended to streptococcus A – an infection of the blood and vital organs.
Despite being given a course of antibiotics, the infection had spread to her womb causing her to go into labour prematurely.
Marie was rushed to Basildon Hospital by husband Andrew, 51, but was transferred to Portsmouth’s Queen Alexandra Hospital – a whole two hours away.
She said: “They didn’t have the equipment to deal with babies being born that early.
“I was quite panicky at first but it was the best thing that could have happened to me really."
“We arrived there the day before she was born and I remember thinking I needed the loo and then all of sudden, she just appeared without a single contraction," the mum said.
“I cradled her head and pulled the emergency cord and the midwives quickly came in and helped me give birth to her.”
Eloise was left fighting for her life after contracting a deadly bacterial infection, and clairvoyant Marie claims she evoked the help of spirits to save her baby's life.
Marie, 35, of Basildon, added: “Because of the infection, she came out smelly and pus-covered and needed care urgently.
“To be able to help her I went into this zone and imagined a little bug of spirit energy and told it to pick the infection out of her."
“We were told by the doctors things didn’t look good but I don’t believe in negative energy, so used the power of meditation to give her psychic surgery – and it worked," she added.
“The doctors did an amazing job and I really want to stress that, they really were fantastic.
“But they dealt with the physical and I did the energy work – we complimented one another and together saved Eloise.”
Eloise was in hospital for four months and on assisted oxygen before being healthy enough to go home and meet her three siblings, Jack, ten, Adam, eight, and Orla Jane, five.
Marie said: "It was so amazing having her back home because it just felt like forever with her being in hospital so long.
"She's doing so well now - you wouldn't even know she'd been sick when she was born."
The family haven’t looked back since with little Eloise, now two, as healthy as any other little girl her age.
