MUM Dee Culley warned her ten-year-old daughter Trinity not to watch graphic TV show One Born Every Minute – but she’s glad she did.

The youngster was able to put her skills to work when she delivered her baby sister at home, two weeks ahead of schedule.

Jasmin Elizabeth-Rose wasn’t due until this month, but when mum Dee’s waters broke in her front room late on March 31, she knew the baby wouldn’t wait.

Within minutes, little Jasmin came into the world – and it’s all thanks to Trinity, who goes to Kingsford Junior School, in Colchester.

Mrs Culley said: “My waters had broken and my husband was on the phone to get his mum to take us to hospital. By the time she got here, the baby had already been born.

“When it all started happening, Trinity turned to me and said: ‘It’s OK mum, I have seen One Born Every Minute. I’ll go get the towels.’

“She was just amazing. Words can’t express how proud I am of her. I think a lot girls of her age wouldn’t have been so calm and known what to do.

Praising her daughter, Mrs Culley, who lives off Furneaux Lane, in Fingringhoe, said: “She’s so modest. I keep telling her, I sneezed and she did all the work.”

During the birth, husband Terry, 34, was on the phone to a 999 operator Mum-of-four Mr Culley said: “They asked him: ‘How far along is she?’ and I could hear him saying: ‘She’s got two weeks left’.

“Then he was saying: ‘I can see a face, oh and there’s a body.’ “An ambulance arrived between five and ten minutes later, but we had pretty much done everything for them.”

Mum and baby were checked over, but neither needed treatment.

Jasmin weighed 7lbs 1oz.

Since the drama, Mrs Culley has scolded Trinity for watching the graphic One Born Every Minute in her bedroom.

She added: “She just said to me: ‘But mum, if I hadn’t, I wouldn’t have known what to do’.”
