The family of a baby who made a blockbuster arrival after being born in the foyer of a Newport Cineworld have returned to the cinema to meet with the staff who helped during the birth. As well as meeting Cineworld workers, the family also received some special gifts to celebrate the first ever "Cinebaby". On Wednesday, August 7, 39-week pregnant Sarah Vincent, whose due date was on August 13, visited Cineworld in Spytty Park with her three-year-old son Liam, and her parents, to watch a re-showing of the animated film Sing 2.
However, shortly into the film, Sarah began to experience some discomfort and went to the toilets. She realised that "something was happening", and asked someone to get her parents. However, while trying to make her way back to the car, her waters broke in their foyer.
For the latest Newport news, sign up to our newsletter here Cinema workers quickly rushed to help Sarah, with one staff member Andrew Brown calling for an ambulance and relaying instructions to duty manager Jacey Howcroft and Amy Screen, a member of the public. Just 10 minutes later, Lowri was born, weighing seven pounds and one ounce. Everything happened so quickly that Lowri's dad, Gareth Miles, actually missed the birth.
Back in August, he said: "I'd finished at 4pm, and I jumped across to Newport to get there quickly. Sarah's dad rang me to say something was happening, and then rang me back ten minutes later to say she'd had the baby and not to rush!" The couple's children have a bit of.
