HARRY KANE'S wife Kate has shared a touching picture of her and newborn son Louis.

The little lad was born on December 29 and Kate uploaded the intimate snap on Tuesday alongside a detailed explanation of the hypnobirthing technique she used.

Kate and Harry have two other children - Ivy, three, and Vivienne Jane, one.

Both were born using hypnobirthing - a technique the Tottenham star defended on Twitter after Vivienne Jane was born.

And having opted for the method again - with Kate saying it gave her a feeling of control - the mum-of-three explained more about it online having received a lot of questions and messages.

Underneath the black and white image of mum and baby in the birthing pool, the 27-year-old wrote: "Three weeks ago today we brought our baby home. I'm just here to spread some positive energy.

"This isn't an advert or sponsored post, this is just a personal story I wanted to share as I have been touched by some of the questions and messages I've received since giving birth to Louis and wanted to try and answer those.

"A lot of people have asked me about my birth story as there is a lot of fear and anxiety around being pregnant and what kind of birth to have.

"Harry and I used hypnobirthing again like we did with both of the girls' births.

"I originally looked at hypnobirthing when I first got pregnant with Ivy as I was so fearful of birth and the unknown and it taught me not to FEAR birth and to take control of it.

"After the course I was so excited to give birth with the girls, however, unlike my previous pregnancies I struggled this time.

"I let a lot of other negative stories get into my head from other people and what I read online. I started to compare myself to other women and their births along with the pressure of being in and out of a lockdown and a lot of other negative factors.

"I turned to hypnobirthing again to get that feeling of control and confidence back.

"The bottom line is it doesn't matter how your baby enters the world as long as they're safe, but IF it can be the mother's choice and a positive experience, feeling in control then even better.

"Every woman's story is their own and unique to them, no two births or pregnancies are the same and no one should pressure you into any particular path, it's your free choice.

"Whatever way you choose, hypnobirthing can help with all types of births not just natural.

"There is a lot of misunderstanding about hypnobirthing. It is more about understanding your pregnancy and your body and teaching you the techniques for a calm and confident birth.

"This allows you and your partner to have that control and use methods if you need them whatever turn your birthing takes. I think now more than ever there is so much fear, anxiety and pressure around birth so look into hypnobirthing and remember to stay POSITIVE!

"You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think."

Kate shared the post on Wednesday - just a day before her birthday.

And doting hubby Harry shared a loving happy birthday message online.

It showed a pregnant Kate in a black one-piece.

And the Spurs hitman captioned it: "Happy Birthday to my beautiful wife and the best Mummy to our three kids @katekanex. Love you."
