Congratulations are in order for Call the Midwife star Helen George, who has welcomed her second child into the world.
The Trixie Franklin actress made the announcement via her Instagram page, sharing a photo of her other half, Call the Midwife's Reverend Tom Hereward actor Jack Ashton, cradling their newborn.
"Happiest of birthdays my love," she wrote. "What a week. And forevermore you will share your birthday week with your second born, sorry I couldn't cross my legs any longer."
The actress stated back in July that she was expecting, announcing that the baby was due in December. Her first child, Wren Ivy, was also born early via a C-section.
"I had to deliver her early, but even without that, I would have gone for an elective caesarean because of what I'd learnt on Call the Midwife," she previously said. "Working on Call the Midwife means that lots of people tell you their horror stories about birth.
"I'm not against natural birth, I'm pro whatever you feel is right for you. Some people may not understand why I elected to have a C-section, but it was right for me at the time. It's not because I'm 'too posh to push', it's about what I think my body is capable of."
This year has seen plenty of rumours that Call the Midwife could be 'poached' from the BBC by Netflix, thanks to a new deal signed at the studio the show is filmed at.
Piers Wenger, the controller of BBC drama commissioning, has shot down those rumours, however, stating: "That show will be made – we're not going to stop making it just because we don't have access to studio space."
Call the Midwife airs on BBC One.
