An Indian woman hit headlines in Britain after giving birth to the country’s first baby of 2017.
Bharti Devi, 35, gave birth to a baby girl at 12.01 AM, just a minute into 2017, reported the vernacular media.
“I was five days overdue so we expected her to be born in 2016 but the longer the labor went on I thought it might go into 2017. It is really exciting to think she is the first baby born in Britain in 2017, it is definitely something special to tell her when she is grown up,” said an excited Bharti Devi from her hospital bed.
She already has a two-year-old son with husband Ashwani Kumar. The couple lives at Handsworth in Birmingham.
