 her or Oliver for how quick the birth of their son would be, but that her future husband kept his nerve and really pulled through. Lying on the bathroom floor of their home in Street, the courier driver encouraged his wife through her contractions while supporting his son’s head and slowing down the baby’s delivery. At 3:09 am on the 25th of March, 17 minutes after Danielle had started to push, Dylan Patrick Holditch was born. The heroic courier driver then wrapped little Dylan in a clean towel and used a pillow to suppo

rt his fiancée’s back. Ten minutes later, the paramedics arrived and ensured that the newborn and mother were both healthy. The beaming threesome was then taken to Musgrove Park Hospital so that Danielle and the baby could receive further medical support. I’m happy to report that both mother and child were well. In fact, Dylan weighed a healthy 6lbs 11oz. An Unforgettable Event The couple had previously been concerned that Oliver might miss the birth altogether. As you well know, being a courier drivermeans that you work long hours and cover a wide delivery area – it’s just one of the facts of the job. Because Oliver carries out courier jobs from Warminster to Minehead, Danielle had been worried that he might not be

 able to get back in time from a job if she went into labour during working hours. Fortunately, though, they experienced the life-changing event in the middle of the night and brought their son into the world together. The happy parents described it as an unforgettable and truly special experience for them both. I’m certainly willing to bet that Oliver will never carry out another delivery quite as remarkable as this one!
