25 year old Kim Leighton from High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, UK was caught on CCTV giving birth on a road outside a shopping centre.
Kim went into labour in the Eden shopping centre and gave birth to baby Leanne on the pavement at 2am.
She was helped by her mother Sue, 54, and security guards from the shopping complex who had raced to the scene with blankets after spotting the emergency delivery on their CCTV cameras.
Sue's partner Paul and Miss Leighton's four-year-old son Lewis were also standing by to welcome the new baby into the world.
The mother says she plans to show the video footage to her daughter, whose middle name is Eden in honour of her birth place.
Miss Leighton lives in a flat near the centre and was rushing to get to the local maternity hospital after her waters broke.
She had phoned Wycombe Hospital at 11.15pm said she felt she needed to come in, but they advised her that she still had plenty of time and to have a bath.
She phoned again at 12.45am to report her contractions were quickening, but it was only at 1.45am when they advised her to come to hospital.
While her mother helped her down the stairs Miss Leighton could feel that baby Leanne was well on her way.
'The security guards saw what was happening on CCTV and rushed round with blankets and kept me calm until the ambulance arrived.
