Mum Kayleigh said: "After a busy three months of getting engaged, planning a wedding, moving house, getting married, working full time as teachers (all whilst heavily pregnant) myself and my husband James welcomed our son Hugo after a very long labour.

"I wasn't actually induced till the Tuesday, they then told me there were no beds available on the labour ward so it wasn't until Thursday I was moved to the ward.

"Hugo then needed an instrumental delivery in theatre and was born Friday morning. It was quite the labour but he's here safe."

Molly Austin had a "wonderful experience" giving birth to her daughter Aria on June 6 at Princess Anne Hospital.

Molly said: "It was a wonderful experience, my sister Kenna was my birthing partner. It took me two hours to go from four centimetres to 10cm and I pushed for two hours before I had an episiotomy and forceps due to baby Aria being back to back.

"She came out with a whopping full head of hair!"
