Emma Simpson posted this photo, commenting: "Luke Simpson-Burn, 6lbs 10.5oz, 4th May. The midwives, doctors and everyone else were absolutely amazing. I was so anxious and worried about bringing my little boy into the world via a cesarean especially with the pandemic going on, but everyone made me feel so at ease and safe. So thankful to our NHS 💙 Photo: Other
