TODAY is Mother’s Day – the day we say thank you to all the mums and mother figures for everything they do.
It’s also a chance to look back at the moment you became a mum for the first day – the first time you held your baby.
We asked you to share photographs of the day your baby was born and tell us about that special moment you shared as you welcomed them into the world.
Here are some of your memories and photographs.
If you want to share yours, use the form below to submit a photo together with how you felt on the day you became a mother.
Please include a clear photograph - no filtered pictures or montages – and a few more details about the day you became a mum – your child’s name, their date of birth and how you felt when they were born.
We will not be able to use any submissions that have missing information.
If you want to share a Mother’s Day message for your own mum click here.
