A Queensland mum has given birth to a healthy baby girl during Tropical Cyclone Alfred after arriving at Mater Mothers' Hospital "just in time".
Ashleigh Alofokhai made it to the hospital's birth suite just four minutes before her second daughter, Theodora, was born at 4.48am, weighing 3.2kg.
The Mater Private Hospital Redland nurse said her waters broke in the car on the way to the South Brisbane hospital.
Her husband Moses drove through strong winds and dodged fallen trees on the road, she said.
"Giving birth to Theodora was quite a chilled experience despite everything going on with the cyclone", Mrs Alofokhai said.
"I didn't have time to think about the cyclone to be honest, everything happened quickly!"
Mrs Alofokhai is looking forward to taking her newborn home to meet her two-year-old sister Gwendolyn.
