He said, “So yeah, it was running to the gym, get a mat, get into the bathroom, get the mat on the floor, towels down, brace, brace, brace,” he said on his The Good, The Bad & The Rugby podcast.
Tindall said his wife’s friend Dolly, who was also at the previous two births, was at the home.
“She was there and recognized that we wouldn’t have got to hospital in time,” he said. “Fortunately the midwife who was going to meet us at the hospital wasn’t that far away so she drove up just as we had assumed the posit (position) and the second midwife arrived just after the head had arrived.”

The latest addition to the Tindall family is the younger brother of 7-year-old Mia and 2-year-old Lena, who weren’t at home at the time of the birth. Tindall joked on his podcast that may consider a vasectomy.
“I literally was like ‘Yep, snip, snip, snip.’ I’ve got a boy. I’m out. I’m out of here,” he said. “The best thing about being at home, the best thing was, as soon he’s wrapped up, he’s skin on skin, straight downstairs. TV room. Golf on. This is what we’re doing.”
