Sharing an intimate video of her home birth, Daisy wrote: ‘Now that we are home & our nightmare of the last week is behind us… we are so immensely proud to say that our second son, Ari Jax was born 08.12 at home, next to the Christmas tree. ‘Daddy very cleverly lined up Fix You by Coldplay to welcome him into the world. The birth was nothing short of pure magic, I haven’t been given much time to relive it but I know that I am super proud of myself and Ari for working so well together.

‘Thank you to my incredible birth team @mama_sanctuary @preparingparentswho made me feel safe and heard throughout, what incredible women you are. ‘Ari has been quite poorly and he’s unfortunately endured such a lot for a 9 day old, including 2 operations. It’s been a living nightmare but we are so grateful he is going to be ok and that we are home for Christmas.
‘Ari (pronounced Ah-Ree) means ‘lion’ and ‘sun-like’ and he has truly lived up to his name and is the bravest, toughest little cub. We are so proud of him. Mummy, Daddy and your besotted big brother Asa, could not love you more (unbelievably, we will but it doesn’t seem possible!).
