It may feel odd to some people that Naomi is a nurse herself but didn’t know all this procedure. She doesn’t deal with deliveries, therefore, had no experience of self-deliveries. However, she says that her medical training has somehow helped her. She was able to calm herself and do it all on her own during this intense period.
She has three babies before George but it was the first time she experienced a natural birth. As to her, she wasn’t even expecting how would it go but luckily, the documentary series gave her some idea about it.
The couple left home at 2 am at midnight and their son was after 30 minutes. Baby George is settling at his home with two sisters Poppy and Millie and one brother Harry. Naomi says that her family didn’t believe it but she finds it an interesting story to tell him once George grows up.
