Lon was born at Warwick Hospital on March 25 weighing 3.7kg (about 8lbs 2ozs). His mother Ccile said: "The midwives were fantastic and so supportive. "My husband had to stay in the car park with our toddler as lockdown means there was no way to have a different childcare solution. I was lucky to have a quick, natural and smooth delivery, so I was able to be discharged on the same day and they were able to meet the new addition. What an emotion. It makes me realise that as women, we are so strong, and the Maternity Team is a team of superheroes. A special thank to Louise, Katie, Bec, Hayley and Sue - my Wonderwomen of the day."

Noah Oskar Israel Parker was born at Warwick Hospital on April 21 at 11.24am weighing 5.13lbs. His mum Ashleigh Hunter said: "We were in the hospital for a week. I was induced for five days and had a c-section in the end. The support and care that I received from everyone on the Swan, Beaumont and Labour wards was incredible. The staff really looked out for us. Noah had to stay in SCBU for four days following his birth due to his breathing. Eventually, we were allowed to go home and be reunited with his dad. The SCBU staff were also incredible and I can't thank them enough for everything they have done."

New mum Mary Crisp has sent in this photograph of her baby Ivy Elaine Deborah born at Warwick hospital on Friday April 17 weighing 7lbs 10oz. Mary said: "When I went into labour she was in an unrecognised breech position so gave us all quite a shock last Friday night when the midwives realised she was in the Frank breech position. She was born by emergency c-section shortly afterwards, and we are now home and well."[I'd like to say a] special thanks to all at Labour Ward and Swan Ward who looked after us.We would love to see stories of more lockdown babies."
