Sue told the Sun: ‘I was more scared than I had ever been going into hospital with everything going on with the virus.
‘I was so worried that Noel wouldn’t be allowed to stay with me.
‘It was the strangest birth yet but by the end of it I would say it was actually one of the best experiences I have had.
‘We can’t settle on a name we all like but we can’t register her now anyway because of corona.’
It is a legal requirement for parents to register a birth and should be done 42 days after a baby is born.
This is usually done at a registry office in the district where the child is born and made in person either by one or both parents.
But authorities have currently postponed all registrations for the foreseeable future as a result of the Covid-19 outbreak.

Noel had a vasectomy after baby number nine but had it reversed shortly afterwards.
