Back in January, Sam revealed to fans that she would be having another home birth with her third child after welcoming daughter Rosie in the same way back in 2017.
During an Instagram Q&A with fans, one person asked: ‘Will you have a home birth again? xx.’
To which Sam replied: ‘Yes! I’m so excited to be having another home birth.
‘My experience with Rosie was the best (not pain-free may I add lol) but the whole home vibe was so peaceful and relaxed.
‘Literally half an hour after having Rosie I was in my bed with her watching X-Factor with tea and toast.’
The star went on to add: ‘I know it’s not for everyone, but if you’re low risk and have thought about it. Definitely ask your midwife all the questions you have.’
Sam then went on to give fans an update of the pregnancy when one follower asked how it was going.
The beauty replied: ‘Very well thank you. I’m very grateful that all my pregnancies have been really straightforward. I love being pregnant.
