Gillian and Nicky Mossner had to stop on the hard shoulder of the M8 before the Scottish Ambulance Service came to the rescue.

A Scots mum gave birth to her daughter at the side of Scotland's busiest motorway during a dramatic dash to hospital.

The couple were left in a terrifying situation as they prepared for Gillian to give birth in the back of their car around 500 yards away from the Glasgow Airport exit. Gillian continued: “Fortunately, Rosie and Victoria arrived in the ambulance extremely quickly and I was taken in the back of the ambulance while my husband followed behind on our way to the hospital. Very quickly after we drove off with blue lights on, my waters broke in the back of the ambulance.

The couple have two other boys; Ellias, who turned 4 in June, and Glen who turned 2 at the start of August. Gillian said Lucy is healthy and well, and has thanked Victoria and Rosie for their help. She added: “I have benefited greatly from their efforts and doing their jobs magnificently well. They are a real credit to the Scottish Ambulance Service. I will be forever grateful for both Rosie and Victoria and their efforts in the safe delivery of the birth of my baby girl - thank you.”
