Reality TV star Charlotte Dawson has welcomed her first baby girl into the world. The 32 year old was accompanied by her partner Matthew Sarsfield in the delivery room as they emotionally greeted their third child together. Already parents to sons Noah, four, and Jude, 18 months, the couple were overjoyed at the arrival of their daughter. As they headed to the hospital, Charlotte handed her phone to Matthew so he could capture the momentous occasion.
After enjoying some orange juice and Percy Pigs, Charlotte gave birth to their little girl. “So proud,” Matthew captioned a photo, followed by a video of Charlotte cradling their newborn. “She’s here,” he announced, as Charlotte’s mum told her she finally had her “princess”. He then shared a picture of himself holding their tiny daughter in his arms, adding: “Amazing our girl is here safe and sound.”
Their daughter weighed in at 8lb 9oz, reports the Mirror. In another clip, Charlotte looked radiant as her daughter enjoyed her first feed at 10.30pm. In a further snap, Matt snuggled up to Charlotte on the hospital bed as they lovingly looked down at their daughter.
This comes after Charlotte revealed that she had attended a party earlier on Saturday, but the pain became “too much” and they rushed to the hospital after realising she was in labour. .
En route to the hospital, Charlotte updated her followers, saying: “Well guys, it’s happening, I’ve not got a contraction right now but it’s happening. Oh my God, I’ve had pains all day since 12 o’clock, I’ve been at a kids party, I’ve been walking around. Ugh, it’s just got too much, the pain. It’s every five minutes, every three to five minutes these contractions.”
Her husband Matthew is set to take over and keep fans in the loop on her behalf. Back in September, Charlotte shared the news that she was expecting a baby girl, confessing it was “finally” time. She and Matt already have two sons, Noah and Jude, who often feature on her social media. Just last month, the Love Squad star confessed to “struggling” as her pregnancy drew to a close.
On Instagram, Charlotte told fans: ” I’m going to miss my coffee, brew, and food holder, but I am struggling right now. She’s lying on my bladder, and I feel like she’s coming every minute.” After crediting her glam team, she joked: “At least if she comes this weekend, I look a bit glowy.”
In a recent clip, Charlotte’s young son Noah appeared to let slip his little sister’s name. When discussing his family, he excitedly blurted out: “You’re gonna have Gigi, Penelope, Judy, me and daddy.”
This sparked reactions from fans, with one questioning: “Has he just given away baby girls name,” while another echoed: “Did he just give away your little girls name?” Charlotte revealed that she’s picked out a couple of possible names for her baby daughter, saying: “Gigi or Penelope,” accompanied by a laughing and heart emoji.
Another fan got a humorous response from Charlotte, who joked that after her third child she doesn’t care about keeping things secret anymore. The 32 year old confirmed that she was expecting a baby back in August last year, barely a month after her boyfriend Matt’s sexting scandal became public.
At the time, Charlotte said on the Just on the Beach podcast: “It’s been a crazy time… Horrible, having to deal with the heartache, the hurt, and being pregnant too.”
Although this pregnancy has posed challenges for her, she was excitedly looking forward to the arrival of her baby girl. Talking about her expanding family recently, she expressed: “I’ve got two boys and I’m having a baby girl, which I’m very excited about. I’ve always wanted a little princess, so as you could imagine, I am very happy about it.”
