Starting a journey into motherhood can be difficult enough, but during a pandemic must be harder.

We gave new mums who gave birth during lockdown the chance to share their baby with the world.

You can share your new arrival with us here.

"I went into hospital as my baby stopped moving. After half an hour got told they would give me an emergency c-section. It was three weeks early. We were told my partner had 10 minutes to get to me or wouldn't be allowed into theatre. I had to have a covid test, as my partner works at the hospital, so until results came back I couldn't see my baby girl. Staff were amazing, sending me videos and pictures until I could see her."

• LUCY ANNE TIBBETTS born on April 7 at Wrexham Maelor Hospital

Parents: Fiona Templeton and Lee Tibbetts

Weight: 6lb 7oz

Siblings: Benjamin and Joseph Tibbetts

"I gave birth at Wrexham Hospital during lockdown. The staff there were amazing, it was strange not having my fiancé there the whole induction and only be able to be there when I was in labour but the staff helped us through it. I gave birth to a healthy baby girl, Lucy. Even though my fiancé had to leave an hour after me giving birth it was nice to spend time with my baby girl alone and also talk to the other mums that were on the ward. Normally you don't talk as you have so many visitors coming to see you. It was nice we all were talking about our experiences and how different it had been from previous births."

Gracie couldn't wait to arrive, so after only a 19-minute labour she was here, meaning daddy didn't make it and missed her birth. Arrived at 4.14pm weighing 6lb 11oz, lovely and healthy and loved more than anything already."
