‘Once the nurse confirmed I was 4cm dilated she told me the news I’d been waiting such a long time for, ”you’re going to have a baby tonight!”’ Sam recalled to Woman’s Day. 

While the labour happened without a hitch, Wilder’s heart rate dropped momentarily after his birth but was fortunately remedied quickly. 

The new parents have spent the past few weeks bonding with their new bub, agreeing that while they want another baby they are happy with just one for now.
