Keeley Delivers Miles (Jan 2001)
Interview: Keeley Hawes - I went to hospital with a Filet-o-Fish and
Sunday Mirror, Jan 28, 2001 by Annie Leask
It's not often that a woman who's just had a baby admits that she mistook her labour pains for hunger pangs, but that's exactly what happened to Keeley Hawes.
When things started stirring down below, as it were, instead of heading for the hospital - where, ironically, she'd just been for a check up - Keeley asked her fiance to take her straight to McDonald's. But within minutes she was en route to maternity - still clutching her meal.
"I went to hospital with a Filet-o-Fish and came out with a baby boy," she jokes.
"He was two weeks early. Everyone had said to me, 'Oh, first baby? Bound to be late, they always are'.
"Actually, I had been for a routine check only an hour before. I was sitting waiting when a midwife came up to me and said, 'Excuse me, but I think you might be in labour. I have been doing this for a long time and you just have that look about you.' I was so surprised I just went, 'Ha ha, me? In labour now? I feel fine'. A doctor examined me and said I was OK to go home. So off I went, but I felt ravenous so I got Spencer to drive me to McDonald's. I got my food, but he ended up whizzing me back to hospital."
After an enviable six-hour labour Myles - a bouncing nine-pounder - appeared to the joy of his first-time parents.
