Student goes into labour during exam for SECOND time in four years – and passes

A student has given birth after going into labor during an exam for the second time in four years.

Determined Khiara Darbyshire went to college hooked up to a TENS machine to ease the pain of contractions while she ran to complete the 90-minute written test.

Remarkably, the 20-year-old passed both exams with flying colors despite being in agaony.

It first happened in 2015 when Khiara, then 16, was taking her Geography GCSE.

She gave birth to Hugo, an 8-pound, 5-ounce baby boy, a week later, after her labor stalled.

The same thing happened again in April, when she was taking her remedial theater and media exam at Greater Brighton Metropolitan College.

Khiara, from Worthing, West Sussex, said: “I was surprised that I took my geography GCSE while in labor and still managed to pass, but I didn’t expect it to happen again.

“I felt pain both times, but the second time the contractions were very regular, lasting up to a minute each time.

“However, I have never written so fast: I was the first to finish and I couldn’t wait to get to the hospital.”

Khiara got pregnant at 16 and her due date was right in the middle of her GCSE exams.

She initially dismissed her pain as “practice contractions,” known as Braxton Hicks, but, in fact, she was in the early stages of labor with baby Hugo, who is now four.

She was so relieved when she found out that her second baby wouldn’t be born until nine days after her theater and media remedial exam at Brighton Met College.

However, the day before she applied to the newspaper to become a movie makeup artist, she went into labor after being induced because she couldn’t feel her baby move.

The next morning, she had contractions that became so painful that she walked into the exam room hooked up to a TENS machine.

Khiara did breathing exercises and turned on the device, which uses a mild electrical current to reduce pain, to cope with labor pains that occurred five minutes apart.

She finished the 90-minute exam in just over an hour and then asked, “Is it okay if I go to have my baby now?”
