Christie Swadling has welcomed her first child with her fiancé Joel Price.

The 28-year-old influencer shared a gallery of maternity content to social media on Tuesday night, confirming she had given birth to a healthy baby boy.

One heartwarming clip showed her newborn lying peacefully on her chest as they rested in the hospital's maternity ward.

Christie looked focused in the sweet footage as she tenderly cradled her adorable bub, whose name she is yet to reveal.

She captioned the footage with some heartfelt words: 'Only place he will sleep. I'm so in love. I had a fully unmedicated birth.'

'Birth story is wild and keen to share. But for now I'm just gonna stare at him all night and be in my newborn bubble.'

In October, Christie was roasted after announcing her pregnancy with her fiancé.

The influencer shared a video to Instagram, which showed her placing red roses in front of a large glass sign that read 'Baby Price, Due May 2025'.

'Words can't describe our happiness right now. Baby Price Due May 2025,' she wrote in the caption.

However, some fans questioned the 'bizarre' video and said it looked like the couple were announcing a loss.

'It looks like a grave stone,' one person wrote on social media.

In her post, Swadling explained she was preparing to start her IVF journey when she took a pregnancy test.

'A day before we had an appointment with our Dr to start our IVF journey I went to take another pregnancy test from feeling ALL the symptoms known to a pregnant woman,' she began.

Last year, the controversial influencer opened up about her fertility journey with her followers.

In a video shared to Instagram, she revealed she was going to see a doctor to get some tests done.

'I have had some hormonal issues and I have only started to get a regular period again. Joel and I are trying to have a baby, we haven't had much luck,' she said.

The announcement comes months after Price was served with a restraining order and charged with domestic violence-related common assault.

Price, 38, was served an interim Apprehended Violence Order (AVO) by NSW Police on behalf of Christie in April. He pleaded not guilty to the assault charge.

Daily Mail Australia understands the matter was heard in court on August 6.

In 2022, Swadling filed for bankruptcy after racking up a pile of debt she can't pay back.

In October, Christie was roasted over her pregnancy announcement.

Documents leaked online in February 2023 showed the social media star was in financial strife, even though she projects a lavish lifestyle on social media.

It was revealed she was bankrupt after an anonymous user on the Tattle Life forums paid $15 to obtain the paperwork on her bankruptcy filing.

The Instagram model listed her job as an 'advertising and marketing professional' in the publicly available document filed on December 29, 2022.
