ISKRA Lawrence has revealed she’s given birth at home and she and her boyfriend Philip Payne are in “awe” of their little one.
Iskra, 29, shared a lengthy Instagram post earlier today and confirmed her first child had arrived safe and sound whilst she isolates at home during the global coronavirus pandemic.
Sharing three photos of herself showing off her huge baby bump in a white dress, Iskra wrote: “I have no idea how to even think right now let alone ‘do an announcement post’ but I feel so close to so many of you.
“You’ve been my online fam for so many years and I’m beyond overwhelmed to tell you baby P has arrived and Me and daddy @philipapayne are taking time to be in awe that we are now a family of three and when I’m ready I cannot wait to share more details with you all on my home birth and this tiny human that we love beyond measure.”
The British model continued: “I cannot thank you all enough of the love and support through this journey.
“During quarantine I made lots of content I’m still excited to share and knew that when baby arrived I’d want to take time off, so I have scheduled some YouTube videos like the one today about all my fave maternity dresses so you can have some glam options during pregnancy.
“And I’ll be uploading 2 baking videos too including my official banoffee pie that you’ve been asking about hehe.”
Iskra added to her 4.6 million followers: “Thanks for reading all of this, we are all safe and well and just in heaven – it’s going to be a huge decision to figure out how much to share online with millions of people.
“And as you know most of you have shown nothing but kindness but we also have received death threats and hate so I’m feeling super protective and never want my baby to feel like we over exposed them and they never got the choice whether they wanted intimate details or photos shared.”
She finished with: “So it’s new territory because I’m very open with you all about many aspects of my life and health etc… so thank you again sending you all so so much love .”
Earlier this month Iskra uploaded a video to her YouTube channel where she and songwriter Philip discussed their plans for a home birth.
Revealing her reasons for choosing a home birth, Iskra told her fans that she always envisioned welcoming her baby at home.
She also showed off her birthing pool, which Philip blew up for her but said he refused to get in during the birth.
The couple first confirmed their romance in January 2019 and announced they were expecting in November.
