News of Amy and Daniel's first child comes after she revealed she was two weeks past her due date, and that she had been the victim of a mugging.

Sharing a photo of her fiancé Daniel Day and their dog, Amy wrote, ‘Are we still #waiting ? #babywatch2020 To the dude that robbed me , I do understand desperation often makes many of us turn to things we would rather not do. But I don’t think you understand the implications that stealing my phone ( that I had just bought to take better pictures of my baby) last week has had on something really quite important in my life.

‘I was #41weekspregnant and therefore became an easy target. Remember when you see a pregnant lady she is not just that big belly – that baby is her hopes, dreams and future and her every waking breath goes into building and preparing for that new life.’

She continued, ‘I was terrified of birth… But I spent months and months obsessively doing what I needed to do in order to trust in myself and believe that I could do it. My #hynobirthing tracks , the playlist I made to keep myself calm , the notes I wrote to myself , all lost😞… little things but they meant a lot to me.

‘So please when you see someone carrying life remember that baby was imagined up months, even years before she became pregnant – there is always a journey to motherhood and it’s often a silent one. Be nice to her , offer her your seat on the tube, and help her if she is struggling as I know I have often found it very to difficult ask for help but I’ve never been this vulnerable before.. #babyonboard #pregnancy #motherhood #bekind.’

Huge congratulations to the new parents!
