Taiwanese singer Ella Chen and husband Malaysian husband Alvin welcomed a baby boy on 12 April 2017. Due to meconium and amniotic fluid entering his lungs during childbirth, the newborn, nicknamed Strong Baby, had to be hooked up to a ventilator soon after birth. Thankfully the little one seems to have recovered quickly as Ella posted that her baby was strong and healthy, ready to join his mum at the confinement centre.

Irina Shayk and Bradley Cooper welcomed their baby girl Lea de Seine Shayk Cooper in early April. We can’t help but feel that Bradley’s love of the French culture influenced their choice of the baby girl’s name, judging by the many clips of him speaking French floating around on the Internet.

Joanne Peh and Qi Yu Wu

Giving birth is hardly the easiest thing to do, especially when I believe so strongly in an au natural childbirth. I didn't take epidural or laughing gas for my first delivery and at one point yesterday, I was presented with the option to do so, to help ease the pain and hence possibly allow me to dilate faster, but it was a personal choice for me not to go with it, and while it could have been one of the reasons why this turned out to be a long drawn journey for #qididi to meet us, I am thankful we made it! We are tired but ever so grateful for all the help and support from family, friends, my gynae and hospital staff. I'm excited to start my journey with two kids under two and us as a family of 4! ?????‍?‍?‍? @qiyuwu #twokidsundertwo #mountelizabethorchard

Just days short of her 34th birthday, Joanne and Yuwu welcomed their second child, a boy nicknamed #QiDiDi who was born after a 16-hour long labour. The fiercely protective parents have stayed through to form and not revealed the name of their son, who they hope will be a playmate to their daughter, #BabyQ. The previously mentioned that Yuwu will pick his Chinese name while Joanne selects the English one.

Nicole Lee and Lai Lok Yi
