Little Niamh Bond couldn't wait any longer and was born eight weeks premature on what some have hailed as the luckiest day of the century.
The tiny tot weighed just 3lb 7oz when she was delivered at Good Hope Hospital, after her mom Keelie, 20, was rushed in on Saturday evening.
Niamh had not been due for another eight weeks -- but obviously thought it would be better to have a birthday no-one has an excuse for forgetting.
Proud Mum Keelie Hearne said she couldn't believe it when she realised the timing and was just glad her partner Dean Bond was there… yes, he arrived 10 minutes before Niamh was born.
"It is certainly a date to remember and it is even more special as it is my first child. I was not expecting it. She is absolutely tiny and has tiny fingers. She is gorgeous."
Dawn Grix, delivery suite co-ordinator at Good Hope Hospital, said: "It is quite unusual. She came down fully dilated and was pushing and we suddenly realised what the time was.
"She was progressing really well and just before 10.10am the head came out and then a minute passed and the rest of the body came out at exactly 10.10am.
"One of the paediatricians then realised it was on 10 seconds as well."
Niamh is being kept in the special care unit at the hospital and is expected to be allowed home in November.
