A mum was reunited with a midwife who took adorable photos of her newborn baby while the dad 'slept in' for the birth.
Megan Burns, 23, welcomed baby Gabriella into the world with mum Fiona by her side at Wishaw General Hospital in November.
But her boyfriend slept in for the quick one and a half hour delivery and missed the special moment.
The mum, from Hamilton in Scotland, initially planned to blog the birth but when it "didn't go as planned" she asked student midwife Joanna Murray to take lots of photos on her phone.
Megan, also mum to three-year-old Lola, later took part in a TikTok trend where users post someone they will never forget and immediately knew Joanna was the person to be featured, reports the Daily Record.
The heartwarming video has been viewed more than 150,000 times and even reached Joanna who was delighted to come across the clip.
Megan said: "I am pretty obsessed with TikTok and I'm always thinking of new videos I can make. I seen people doing the trend and I thought I could that that with the photos Joanna had taken. She was so lovely.
"My mum was my birthing partner because my boyfriend slept in for the birth. I didn't think the video would reach her at all but I had in my notes her name was Joanna so I wrote that in case she didn't remember me.
"She saw the TikTok and knew exactly who we were and exactly what birth it was. She said Gabriella was her 18th baby and I thought that was really cute she remembered the number.
"Lots of people have been commenting on the TikTok. They couldn't believe I managed to find her and the video reached her."
Joanna reached out online after viewing Megan's video.
She commented: "Hey. So glad I came across this, what a lovely post. Gabriella was my 18th delivery and one I'll never forget."
Fellow TikTokers were delighted that the pair had been reunited through the power of social media and Joanna's comment has been liked more than 1,000 times.
One person commented: "This is so sweet."
Another added: "Crying at this and how you've found her."
A third said: "I loved my first experience in Wishaw General back in 2019 with my little girl. I had a student midwife named Emily and I named my daughter after her."
