I though that my baby would be born next day but Marcel decided to come just on the last minutes of  03.03.21 at 23:52. I gave birth in the water. It was the best choice ever. I was calm and relaxed because I knew what’s going to happen. Now I am happy mum of two boys”.

Stephanie Feltham’s first baby Amelia Anne Sheen was born on Thursday 6th August 2020 at Salisbury District Hospital, weighing 6lb 6oz.

We walked through the doors and by the time I reached the bed I was ready to push. 25 minutes after arriving at the hospital my beautiful daughter Amelia entered the world! Born at 21:56pm....We couldn’t wait to get her home and finally be a family of 3!”
