Stacey Solomon has welcomed her fifth child, taking to Instagram to tell fans about her "crazy quick" home birth.
"She’s here," Stacey wrote in a post on Instagram, announcing the arrival of her and Joe Swash's new bundle of joy. "Our beautiful daughter born at home with all of your brothers and sister ready to snuggle you forever and ever," she added, referencing that the newborn was welcomed via a home birth.
Stacey then revealed how fast the baby girl's birth had been, writing: "You literally flew into our world."
On her Story, she went into more detail about the home birth experience. Alongside a photo that she'd posted on 7 February, Stacey said: "I didn't realise I wasn't quite prepared for the crazy quick whirlwind that occurred right after I took this picture."
The TV personality also gave fans a glimpse into her home birth, sharing a video from the moment she and Joe weighed their newborn for the first time. "This video makes me cry," she admitted, before commenting on how she's readjusting to breastfeeding a newborn: "I forgot how hard breastfeeding is at the beginning."
Back on her grid, Stacey ended her post by saying: "We can’t believe you're here."
"Welcome to the world beautiful girl, thank you for the last few months in my tummy, we can’t wait to love you forever and ever we are so grateful we get to be your family."
Congratulations to the Solomon-Swash family!
