"When I had my first baby girl Oonagh four years ago, my world changed forever. I thought I couldn't possibly burst with more joy.
"Well, now I am bursting times three!!! Becoming a mother by myself and on my own terms despite my own fertility challenges has been the most humbling experience of my life.
â
"I am eternally grateful that I was able to choose this responsibly and thoughtfully. To all the moms, wherever you are today and however you got here, my dream family and I are celebrating with you. Love always, A x."
Amber went public with her pregnancy in December with a statement saying: "It is still quite early in the pregnancy, so you will appreciate that we do not want to go into much detail at this stage.
"Suffice to say that Amber is delighted both for herself and Oonagh Paige," her representative told People.

The actress, known for her role in 'Aquaman', was previously in a high-profile marriage with Johnny Depp from 2015 to 2017.
The former couple made headlines again in 2022 during a highly publicised defamation trial following their divorce.
Since the conclusion of the trial, which resulted in a verdict favouring Johnny Depp, Amber has chosen to lead a more low-key life away from the limelight of Hollywood, settling in Spain.

In July 2021, she announced the birth of her daughter Oonagh.
Sharing a professional photo with her baby on Instagram, Amber expressed her excitement: "I'm so excited to share this news with you."
She continued to reflect on her journey to motherhood: "Four years ago, I decided I wanted to have a child. I wanted to do it on my own terms. I now appreciate how radical it is for us as women to think about one of the most fundamental parts of our destinies in this way."

Amber also touched upon the societal expectations surrounding motherhood: "I hope we arrive at a point in which it's normalized to not want a ring in order to have a crib. A part of me wants to uphold that my private life is none of anyone's business. I also get that the nature of my job compels me to take control of this.
"My daughter was born on April 8, 2021. Her name is Oonagh Paige Heard. She's the beginning of the rest of my life."
