It was a Mother's Day to remember for these North East families as they welcomed their new arrivals.
Three mothers were among those to give birth at Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary and Sunderland Royal on Sunday including Zoe Ditch, 34. Zoe welcomed her little girl Heidi Annabelle into the world at 12.02am, her second daughter.
The Washington mum told Chronicle Live that her due date was March 22, but was overjoyed to give birth to Heidi on Mother's Day.
