Joshan kept his mother calm while Ashriya was born
A three-year-old boy has been hailed a hero by his mother after he helped her give birth in a supermarket car park in Derby.
Sonia Chima was on her way to hospital with husband Kaz and son Joshan when she went into labour.
The family pulled into the Asda store in Spondon and dialled 999.
Mrs Chima said Joshan helped her to keep calm and had told her how to breathe until help arrived. "He was brilliant," she said.
"He's a live wire most of the time - but when we needed him he really shone through."
'Stop the car'Her husband, who had gone into the supermarket to get blankets for the baby after the paramedics arrived, said: "Just when you think you've seen everything in life, something like that pops up.
"I suppose the real hero is Joshan, if he hadn't been calm I think I would probably have lost it.
"He was holding his mum's hand - giving her juice and saying to her, 'mum you breath like this'. He was brilliant."
Mrs Chima went into advanced labour with her daughter Ashriya shortly after leaving home for the hospital.
She said: "The plan was my for my mother to have Joshan, but it all happened so fast - I had asked my mum to meet us at the hospital.
"But we literally got to the Asda roundabout, about three or four minutes from home.
"I said to Kaz, I can't help but push - I think we need to stop the car."

Wembley appearance is lined up for Leicester Tigers - Leicester Mercury
Leicester Tigers look set to make their first ever appearance at Wembley three weeks into next season.
Details of a fixture between home club Saracens and Leicester are already being advertised on ticket-selling website www.eticketing.co.uk – a service used by many top Premier League football clubs.
The site has ticket details, a date of Saturday, September 15 and a start time of 2.15pm.
It also bills the entertainment for the day as being from "chart-topping sensation, Cover Drive" – a four-piece band from Barbados. Adult tickets range from £16 to £65 with concessions for juniors.
It reads: "On Saturday September 15, Saracens will take to the Wembley stage once more.
"This fixture will welcome Leicester Tigers to Wembley for their first appearance against Saracens at their second home."
Despite this detail, Premiership Rugby (PRL), the Aviva Premiership's governing body, say that no apparent plans will be made concrete until the 2012-13 fixture list is released on Wednesday July 4.
A spokesman for PRL said: "The fixture list has not been confirmed yet and they will be released on July 4, as planned."
It is understood that Saracens have requested a home fixture for that third round of competition though and, if Tigers are confirmed as their opponents, it will provide a first visit to the iconic national football stadium.
Saracens used Wembley for home games on two occasions last season.
They beat the Ospreys 31-26 in the Heineken Cup in a game that attracted 41,036 supporters.
They lost to Harlequins 24-19 in March at the same venue but attracted 83,761 for the all-London clash – a world record for a club rugby game.
Saracens will play their home games next season in Barnet at the renovated 10,000-seater Copthall Stadium.
Tigers did not wish to pass comment.

Asda plans for Redhill site regeneration progress - Get Surrey
RESIDENTS in Redhill will soon be able to have their say on Asda's plans to regenerate the Cromwell Road area of the town centre.
The supermarket firm has submitted its transport assessment for a new 30,000sq-ft store to Reigate & Banstead Borough Council, allowing the authority to formally register the planning application.
Asda wants to open in Redhill in 2014, bringing almost 300 new jobs.
Oliver Jones, property communications manager, said: "We are keen to bring this food store as quickly as possible for the people who want it there.
"It will bring 280 jobs to the area, a mix of full-time and part-time, which will all have access to training programmes.
"We are still waiting on planning permission, but we are ever hopeful and we realise this will be a big benefit for the community."
The land Asda wants to build on is currently occupied by a number of people living in flats owned by the Raven Housing Trust.
Susan Lea, communications officer for the trust, said: "While discussions have been taking place with Asda, no agreement has been reached on the terms for any purchase of Raven’s land.
"We remain open to discussions with Asda but do not anticipate much happening now until after the summer, and only then if Asda is successful with their planning application.
"If we do reach an agreement with Asda following a successful planning application, we will of course work with the council to find alternative homes and provide financial and practical help to residents affected."
And speaking for Asda, Mr Jones added: "Typically, [with] situations like this, they [the residents] are provided with a compensation offer or rehoused elsewhere. We will keep people informed as best as we can."
Local resident Hannah Rainford said that although she thought the site would be better used for something other than a supermarket, she would still prefer Asda to set up shop there rather than it remain in its present state.
She said: "I would rather that Redhill had one large supermarket and that the run-down Cromwell Road area was regenerated with restaurants and a cinema. Although I would rather that Asda took the site, over the option of it staying as it is."
Another Redhill resident, Gary Hawkins, believes the town has enough supermarkets already, saying: "I think the monster-sized Sainsbury's will be quite enough, but Cromwell Road does need some attention."
