November 02, 2021 - 14:46 GMT Sophie Hamilton Welcoming your baby into the world is an incredible experience but it can also be very unpredictable – you may have a birth plan in mind, but your little treasure could arrive early or late and sometimes in a dramatic fashion.The royal family have also experienced some tricky births over the years, from premature babies, to surprise home births and super long labours. They really are just like us when it comes to welcoming their newborns.
She said:"This is the third time I have seen this film A Life with Sight and each time I see it, it makes me cry. My daughter, Louise, was born prematurely and so every time I see anything to do with premature babies, it takes me back to those early days, the shock of her early arrival, and then the realisation that she had a sight issue, which we would have to manage."
Dad Mike revealed how his wife gave birth to their son on the bathroom floor as there wasn't enough time to get to hospital.Speaking on The Good, The Bad & The Rugby podcast, he said:"Sunday got even better because a little baby boy arrived at my house," adding how little Lucas,"Arrived very quickly. Didn’t make it to hospital. On the bathroom floor."
He also spoke of the pros of having a home birth, revealing:"The best thing about being at home, the best thing was, as soon as he’s wrapped up, he’s skin on skin, straight downstairs. TV room. Golf on. This is what we’re doing."
