Oliver Dean was one of 15 little angels making their Christmas Day appearances in Romford on the Queen’s Hospital labour ward.

He made his surprise entrance at 2.32pm — well ahead of his due date of January 7.

Mum Carly Dean, 36, who lives in Hornchurch with partner Michael Honour and two-year-old daughter Rosie, was due to have a caesarean on January 4 when her waters suddenly broke on December 23.

“I was out Christmas shopping,” Carly recalled. “I went to Queen’s and was sent home, but went back on Christmas Eve.

“It was surreal that Oliver came on Christmas Day — I didn’t expect it at all, although I did have my hospital bag ready.”

Carly's daughter Rosie was excited to meet her new baby brother. “She’s besotted with him,” Carly added.

Twin boys Jihan and Jisan Malik also surprised their mum and dad when they arrived on Christmas Day – they weren’t due for another month.

The couple from Romford turned up at Queen’s for a routine scan on Christmas morning when 33-year-old Asma felt pain — and suddenly went into labour while actually in the maternity department.

It caught her and husband Jubayer by complete surprise.

“We thought we had a month to go,” 38-year-old Jubayer said. “It was very special for the twins to be born on Christmas Day.”

What a nice Christmas present for the couple’s two daughters who are six and two, both excited to be big sisters and meet their baby brothers.

The first Christmas Day arrival on the ward was Teddy Robertson at 5.20am. Mum Tracy’s waters had broken two days earlier, the day she was due to be induced.

Tracy said: “I’m glad he came naturally in the end as I felt a bit guilty he was born on Christmas Day and not having his own special birthday. We’ll make another day just for him.”

He is the first baby for Tracey and husband Andrew, who live in Brentwood.

All the staff came to visit Teddy as he was the first Christmas Day baby on the ward.
