It's Mother's Day today (March 10) meaning mums, grandmas, great-grandmas and aunts are being celebrated across the UK for their endless love and support.
Whether you still live with your mum or she is thousands of miles away, it's never been more important to say thank you for all they've done today.
We asked mums in the North East to share pictures from the very special day that they became a mum.
Here are just a few photos that were sent in to us from the day these mums welcomed their adorable little ones into the world.
Happy Mother's Day!
