NO labours are easy - but some are plainly easier than others.
Take the case of Mathilda Brown of New Earswick - who was asleep for most of her labour!
You can read Mathilda's story below as we meet some of York's newest arrivals.
If you have had a baby recently and would like their photo and story to appear in The Press (for free!) - get in touch.
You can send all the details to our newsroom via this link: www.thepress.co.uk/newbabies
