New mum, Natalie Hardy, from Banbury, had her first child - Ava Rosa Lynes - just after the lockdown started.

Ava Rosa Lynes, was born at 7.23pm on March 23 weighing 5lb 15oz.

Natalie said: "We are from Banbury, but I had her at the John Radcliff and had a fabulous midwife called Alice.

"The ladies at the JR maternity were amazing. With everything going on they were lovely. I couldn’t praise them enough.

"But I left hospital the next day and considering it was oxford the roads were dead!

"It’s also hard when family cannot see her for example grandparents/great grandparents they get a bit upset. But makes you cherish the little things in life."

"We would love to see stories of more lockdown babies."
