Mum gives birth during ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred

Annie Coburn went into labour on Friday evening, and husband Harrison rushed her to the town’s Mater Hospital.

Annie had a 13-hour labour in the midst of the cyclone earlier than child Winnie was born at 12.36pm on Saturday.

“We’re doing very properly contemplating all the things and he or she’s a bit celebrity,” Ms Coburn informed Immediately.

The couple drive to the hospital by way of the wild climate.

“To be trustworthy, I wasn’t even excited about the cyclone, aside from after we have been driving in and have been going by way of the loopy winds and rain,” Ms Coburn stated.

“However as soon as we bought to the hospital I used to be similar to, we have been in a special world.”

“It was all a little bit of a whirlwind, to be trustworthy,” Mr Coburn stated.

“There have been no vehicles on the highway. The climate was deteriorating.”

Mr Corburn stated they’d thought-about naming the child Alfie, if it was a boy, however that wasn’t to do with the cyclone.

“That’s true – the cyclone was only a coincidence. I’m a mad Brisbane Broncos fan, wanting to call him after Alfie Langer.”

Nonetheless, Ms Coburn stated she was “glad she’s a woman.”

In the meantime, one other Brisbane mum gave given beginning to a untimely child boy, which she named Alfie, on Wednesday because the cyclone approached.

Mother and father Han Zhang and his spouse Ning welcomed their son seven weeks early on Wednesday at Mater Moms’ Hospital, weighing 1.8kg.
