This the moment a woman found out she had become a grandmother for the second time after daughter gave birth early and kept it a secret.<br /><br />Erin Frances Simpson, 41, was booked for an induction on 31 October 2024 but went into labour three days early.<br /><br />Instead of telling her mum Sue Simpson, 72, Erin decided to keep it a surprise and waited for her mum to come back from her weekend away at the family’s beach house.<br /><br />Heart-warming video shows Sue's reaction as she walks in to find her new grandson lying in a cot. <br /><br />Erin, a TV presenter and a content creator from Auckland, New Zealand, said: “Erin said: “The lovely thing is that she looked after me first before going to her grandchild.<br /><br />"So even though I’m 41, she’s still checking on her baby first."<br /><br />Erin's first child Harrison, three, was born within the hour of the first contraction so she expected her second to come in a hurry too. <br /><br />Three days before her scheduled induction Erin woke up with stomach pains and assumed it was her coeliac disease. <br /><br />But around lunchtime, she realised the pains were actually contractions.<br /><br />Erin and her partner rushed to hospital on 28 October 2024 and Harley was born within an hour. <br /><br />The birth happened so fast Erin and her partner barely made it to the hospital in time and didn't have time to let their families know. <br /> <br />Erin said: “The only two things on my mind were the babysitter arriving to look after my eldest and making it to the hospital."<br /><br />Knowing that her mum would be upset for missing the birth, Erin decided to wait until she came back from her weekend away and surprise her. <br /><br />Erin said: "I knew she’d be upset for missing the birth so I thought the next best thing would be a surprise."
