Matilda shared another photo, this time of her mother Rachel, holding her grandson while sitting in the hospital room.
The 32-year-old revealed that her parents were by her side during the entire birthing process, writing: “On the night I went into labour, dad was supposed to drop mum at the hospital (mum was my doola) and then wait in the waiting room.
“But he ended up coming into the room and stayed for the entire birth.”
She continued saying: “When I was pushing Zan out at the end, dad was stroking my head and mum was cheering me on, crying, saying, ‘Come on, Till! He’s so close!’
“[It was] pretty special that both my parents got to be with me through such a monumental time in my life.”

The Offspring star is experiencing motherhood for the first time, with Scott right by her side.
“Scott was amazing, never left my side, and is totally besotted,” she said on social media.
The actress went on to explain that “labouring and birthing is the most intense thing I’ve ever experienced in my life”, however, “worth every second to finally meet my son.”
