Farrena Sadiq, 28, gave birth to a
little girl at the Princess Royal Maternity unit in Glasgow 40 minutes
before the newest Royal was born
These beaming new mothers proudly showed off their new babies who will share their birthday with the Princess of Cambridge.
The
new mothers at Southmead Hospital, Bristol, introduced the newborns to
the world as Kate Middleton gave birth to the fourth in line to the
throne.
The
Duchess of Cambridge welcomed her daughter into the world at 8.34am
this morning and just an hour or so before that, little Emilia Florence
Gibbs was born weighing 7lb 14oz
.
She was born at 6.10am on Saturday May 2 to mum and dad Jennifer, 38, and William Gibbs, also 38.
It is their third little girl and Jennifer said she was over the moon Emilia had arrived at the same time as the Princess.
She said: 'I will definitely follow the progress of the new royal baby now. It's quite fun that we had Emilia at the same time.
'My
due date was the same as the Duchess' as well - last Saturday - so it
seems like it was destiny that they would arrive at the same time.
'It is something to tell her when she gets older.'
Also
sharing a birthday with the princess is Finley Charles Cross, who was
born at 3.52am in the morning weighing a healthy 8lb 4oz.
Mother
Pearl Cross, 29, from Clevedon, North Somerset, said she only heard
news of the royal arrival when her friends congratulated her on the good
news.
She said: 'We have been up all night so we didn't notice the royal baby until later on.
'It
is special. It's nice that they will be sort of linked now, so we will
definitely be following the progress of the princess. I was really
excited to hear Kate had a girl.
'It is interesting to picture her going through exactly the same thing as me, especially because I was overdue as well.'
Father Nathan, 33, added: 'We keep an eye on the royal family and this makes Finley's birth extra special.'
Cindy and Lee Corbett, from Frenchay, Bristol, welcomed baby Owen Xiang-Yang Corbett at 7.15 in the morning.
Lee,
a computer-aided design manager, said: 'If we get a commemorative coin
like the babies did that were born on the same day as Prince George,
that will be nice.
'I
expect we will keep an eye on what the princess is up to now - you
can't help looking at your peers and seeing how their children are
doing.
'We knew it could happen on the same day, but obviously when you are overdue it could come at any time.'
Cindy, who works in a college, added: 'I was really interested to see Kate when she was pregnant.
'I
am originally from Taiwan and the culture there tends to mean that we
keep an eye on how much weight women put on in pregnancy.
'There is a big focus on staying healthy and not putting on too much weight.
'Kate always looked amazing and so smart, and I think she was a great role model.
'She looked really healthy, and it goes to show that you don't need to pile on weight when you are pregnant.'
In Glasgow, a happy couple have celebrated the arrival of their own princess.
Proud
mother Farrena Sadiq, 28, a business studies teacher and Mohammed
Imran, 31, a financial consultant both from Pollokshields celebrated the
birth of their daughter on Saturday.
Their
daughter was welcomed into the world at 7.53 in the morning at Princess
Royal Maternity in Glasgow- 40 minutes before the latest royal was
born.
The, as yet, unnamed baby girl weighed nine pounds and three ounces and had a full head of hair upon arrival.
Farrena
said: 'We're waiting until after we hear what Kate has named her baby
to name ours - just in case we choose the same one.
'I didn't even know until she arrived that she'd be a girl. It's a nice claim to fame for her. She's our wee princess.
'She's a little diva already. She's loving all the attention that she's getting.
'Her big brother Ibrahim, who is two years older, has been very protective so far - just like I'm sure Prince George is.
'I'm sure that she'd have loved to have had a load of people camping outside to welcome her.
