A young Polish woman who was forced to give birth on the London Underground has revealed how she was sent away from a leading maternity hospital just two hours before her baby was born.
Julita Kowalska, 26, became the first woman in 84 years recorded as giving birth on the Tube when her daughter Jennifer was born at Kingsbury, North London, on the evening of December 19 last year.
Earlier that night Julita had been taken by ambulance from her home in North London, to St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington, West London, where Prince William and Prince Harry were delivered.
The only other recorded birth on the Tube was in 1924 when a woman called Daisy Hammond gave birth to baby Marie on a Bakerloo Line train at Elephant and Castle station.

Cabbies banned man´s guide dog
27/ 1/2009
A BLIND man has hit out at two cabbies who refused to carry him and his guide dog.
Jon Prashar, 45, was turned away twice outside Rochdale railway station as he tried to travel to a conference with his dog, Amber.
A quick-thinking colleague took a note of the taxis´ registration numbers and an investigation was launched by council officials. The drivers, Talib Hussain, 51 and Mohammed Idress, 37, were tracked down and prosecuted in a landmark case for Rochdale council.
Jon, who has been blind since birth, said: "When we approached the first taxi I could hear the driver say ´no dog´. Boot
"He then said Amber could go in the boot. I asked if it was an estate car because that would have been fine but it wasn´t. There´s no way she was going in a closed boot - she´d have freaked out.
"He then went to speak to the driver behind him and the pair of them drove off. Fortunately my colleague got their registration numbers. We had to get a black cab."
Jon, who works in marketing, said: "To be fair to the drivers they were both very pleasant.
"When they knew I was taking action one drove to my house to apologise. I don´t think they were being malicious and they do a very unpleasant job. But something needs to be done to stop this from happening again."
A number of Muslim drivers have expressed concern about carrying guide dogs in their cabs. Dogs are generally not allowed inside Islamic houses as they are considered unclean. (yes, once a self-proclaimed profit hated dogs now all his followers are to hate them)
Mosques
However, the Muslim Council of Britain has issued guidance saying Islamic law DOES allow guide dogs to be carried in cabs. They have even been allowed into mosques in the past.
Mike Tyerman, from the Greater Manchester´s Guide Dogs for the Blind Association, agreed. He said: "I think it tends to be individual drivers and a misunderstanding from a religious context.
"We get a lot of concern from the Muslim community but when you talk to anyone well versed in Muslim texts they say guide dogs and working dogs should be no problem."
Mr Hussain, of Chevron Close, Marland, Rochdale, was fined £125. Mr Idress, of Bolton Road, Sudden, Rochdale, was fined £100. Both were ordered to pay £128 costs at Rochdale Magistrates Court.
