A Scots mum has thanked a midwife who took adorable photos of her newborn baby - after the dad 'slept in' and missed the birth.
In a heartwarming video on TikTok, Megan Burns, from Hamilton, gave birth to baby girl Gabriella in Wishaw General Hospital on November 20, 2021, with mum Fiona by her side – as her boyfriend slept during a brief hour-and-a-half labour. The 23-year-old initially planned to blog the birth but when it "didn't go as planned" she handed her phone to student midwife Joanna Murray and asked her to take lots of photos.
Megan, also mum to Lola, three, decided to follow a TikTok trend where users post someone they'll never forget – and immediately knew Joanna should be the person to be featured. The video, now viewed over 150,000 times, reached Joanna, who was delighted when she stumbled across the TikTok post.
