The moment you became a mum - we celebrate Mother's Day 2022 with your touching pictures

We're celebrating Mother's Day by sharing your precious photographs of the moment you became a mum.

Everyone has that first photo cuddling their little bundle and we've been asking Manchester mums to share theirs with us as we celebrate Mothering Sunday.

Whether your baby was born at home, in hospital or somewhere a little more unconventional, the moment you finally got to hold that baby in your arms is one you'll never forget. And whether your picture was taken an hour after giving birth, a few days, or even weeks, it's something you'll treasure forever.

We're grateful to those who have shared their photos of that special time with us and we'd love to see more of you share them with us on our Facebook pages today.

Our gallery includes some lovely photographs of mums with their newborns, including Natalie Rahman with son Rhys, now 13.

Natalie, from Chadderton, said: "My first born Rhys made me a mum in 2008. He was born at St Mary's."

There's Angela Jackson, pictured with her son Adam, who was born at Stepping Hill Hospital, Stockport, in the same room his sister arrived five years earlier.

And then there's Melanie Barker with her 'tiny princess' Lacie Ann who was born at North Manchester General on September 6, 2013 weighing just 3lb 4oz.

Melanie said: "She is now an happy eight-year-old who is thriving in everything she does."

If you have a photo to share then post it under the story on our Manchester Family Facebook page or tweet it to @familymanc.
