Jamie Yeo confirms birth of baby boy who arrived 'a little early'

Local celebrity Jamie Yeo, 39, confirmed the birth of her son in an Instagram post earlier today (Sep 24).

Luke was born almost a month ago on Aug 29, "a little early at 35 weeks, but healthy and at a respectable 2.35kg", said the television host.

She shared a picture of her and her 38-year-old husband, Rupert, looking down upon their newborn son, and wrote: "After 3 weeks getting spoilt by the amazing world class nurses and docs in the HD ward of SGH our little man Luke is finally home!"

Yeo, who announced that she had gotten married and was five months pregnant earlier in June, also expressed her gratitude for the medical personnel who attended to her during her month-long hospitalisation.

She added: "Special mention to Prof Yong Tze Tein! We could not have asked for a cooler or more competent gynea!

"Now we’re finally looking forward to bonding time at home for all the family."

Arrived 29 August, a little early at 35 weeks, but healthy and at a respectable 2.35kg. After 3 weeks getting spoilt by the amazing world class nurses and docs in the HD ward of SGH, our little man Luke is finally home! Massive thanks also to the medical staff especially the ever cheerful nurses in the maternity and labour wards, whose experience helped get us through a month of hospitalisation for Mummy and got baby Luke to a safe place for delivery. Special mention to Prof Yong Tze Tein! We could not have asked for a cooler or more competent gynea! Now we’re finally looking forward to bonding time at home for all the family. Thanks in advance for all the well-wishes and apologies if we don't get back to you all as we adjust to sleep deprivation and numerous diaper changes!!
