Scots mum who gave birth without dad who 'slept in' thanks midwife who took first photos of newborn

A Scots mum has thanked a midwife who took adorable photos of her newborn baby after the dad 'slept in' for 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 in for the quick one 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.
