‘My heart is squelching with love’: This Morning’s Dr Sara Kayat introduces baby son Harris Walker live on the show just ONE DAY after giving birth
This Morning’s Dr Sara Kayat has welcomed her first child, a little boy called Harris Walker, with her husband.
The medical professional appeared on Thursday’s episode of the ITV chatshow just one day after giving birth as she gushed over her newborn.
Dr Sara told hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield: ‘Thank you so much I’m so so happy it’s one of those overwhelming love kind of sensations, I didn’t know I had in me, so I’m very happy.’
Oh baby! This Morning’s Dr Sara Kayat has welcomed her first child, a little boy called Harris Walker, with her husband
The This Morning star explained that her son was born 10 days early and she had a water birth at home with no midwife or pain relief with her husband having to ‘catch’ the baby. Her labour only lasted two hours.
Dr Sara said: ‘He was 10 days early and because he was my first everyone was expecting it to be at least a week or so later.
‘I was at home, I’d always wanted a water birth, but I didn’t expect it to be my birth, with no midwife present, so my husband had to kind of capture the baby as he came out.
‘He came out about 9:20, I had to call the ambulance, obviously with the midwife not knowing when to get here for, they arrived 20 mins later and then the midwives arrived 20 mins after that.

‘My first contractions were about 3:45 in the morning, I’d been having them for a couple of days and I thought it was contractual muscles. I was doing Pilates and yoga. Active labour was only 2 hours.’
Dr Sara added that due to having a birth with no pain relief, she was able to be ‘up and bouncing around’ the next day.
To which Holly joked that she needed an ‘ice pack down her pants for about a fortnight’.
