Michelle McManus has shared her thanks to a team of midwives at Glasgow's Princess Royal Maternity Hospital after the birth of her baby boy.
News of little Harry John Nimmo's birth was announced by the singer on Instagram yesterday.
And today she praised hospital staff for their 'care and attention' with her over the past nine months, while talking of her challenging pregnancy.
The Pop Idol winner, who celebrates the birth of her son with husband Jeff, suffered complications due to her type 1 Diabetes diagnosis.
She said: "Myself and Jeff will never be able to thank the staff at the Princess Royal Maternity Hospital in Glasgow for the care and attention they’ve given us over the last 9 months to ensure our darling son was delivered safely into the world.
"As a type 1 diabetic my pregnancy was to be a little more challenging but thanks to the constant support from the phenomenal Diabetic and Obstetrics teams at the Princess Royal I sailed through it with no complications, something I could never have done on my own.
"When it came time for me to go into hospital to deliver my wee baby boy I was placed in the care of the staff from wards 71-73. From the minute I arrived it was made clear to me what safe hands we were in and the level of attention and round the clock care that was given to all of us in the wards will stay with me for the rest of my life. I was in awe of the entire team, they never stopped, nothing was a problem and they made child birth one of the most incredible experiences of my life so far, and for that I’ll be eternally grateful."
Meanwhile, Michelle also showed her support for the NHS and the 'angels who work within it' in her social media post.
She added: "We are so so lucky to have our NHS in Scotland.
"To each and every one of the incredible staff I met during my week in hospital I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you did for me and my family. You gave me the light of my life in my son and I’ll be forever in your debt.
"To think of our country without our NHS is unimaginable so here’s to supporting our National Health Service and all the angels who work within it."
