We have reported on some frightening birthing experiences from all over the world, but this one has to be the most terrifying we have ever heard.

 

A woman in the UK is recovering in hospital after being attacked and beaten while giving birth at her home.

 

The 22-year-old woman was about to leave her home to go to hospital for her baby’s birth, when five masked men broke into her house wielding baseball bats and knives.

 

The mother-of-two was beaten with the bats and slashed in the face with a knife at her home in Basildon, Essex, and subsequently suffered a haemorrhage.

 

The woman’s 32-year-old partner and two-year-old child were in the house at the time.

 

Having rushed to her aid, the unidentified woman’s partner brought her to hospital, where she later gave birth to a healthy baby.

 

 

Commenting on the horrific incident, the woman’s partner said: “Her contractions were about six minutes apart, so I went upstairs to get her hospital bag and to phone the babysitter to come and look after our two-year-old. The next thing I heard a loud smash – like a fish tank shattering.”

 

He added: “I came running down the stairs and they were attacking her. I just threw my arms round her to protect her. They carried on beating us.”

 

Police have now appealed for anyone in the area with information to contact local authorities.
