Front seat delivery for mountbellew baby in family car

NOT one to hang around, baby Aubrie Moran decided she couldn’t wait for a hospital birth, making her entrance to the world in the front seat of her family’s car.
The youngest of Amanda (née Lavelle) and Michael’s four daughters was born in the early hours of last Thursday morning, as the family dashed from their Mountbellew home to Portiuncula Hospital in Ballinasloe.
The couple, who are from Tuam, intended to have Amanda’s parents Margaret and Oliver come to their home in Castlegar to mind their daughters. But the dramatic events of the early morning delivery meant things didn’t go according to plan.
