Welcome! Krystal Hipwell (née Forscutt) has just given birth to her second child, baby girl Nakoda Ruth Hipwell, who was born on Thursday, May 31
She shared a long message, explaining that she’s spent the night in intensive care, away from her baby.
‘You were our missing piece! Our family is now complete. Nakoda Ruth Hipwell. Born the 31st of May, weighing 3.7 kilos,’ she began.
‘Thankfully a quick labour via vaginal delivery and somehow zero pain relief. Unfortunately straight after giving birth I was rushed to emergency as I suffered a post partum haemorrhage and had to go into surgery.
‘I spent 24hrs in intensive care and was so devastated that I couldn’t be with my baby girl but lucky she had her daddy taking care of her.
‘I have now been reunited with her and am so relieved to finally have our beautiful and perfectly healthy little angel in my arms #newborn #newbornbubble #blissedout #rainbowbaby #babygirl’ she concluded in the touching message.
