Recently, a Below Deck Mediterranean<\/a> alum shook the yachting world when she announced her pregnancy. Fans of this former deckhand had no idea she was expecting until just a few days ago<\/a>, when she teased us with her bump on Instagram.<\/p>\n

And now that she\u2019s given birth, congratulations are in order!<\/p>\n

Former Below Deck Med star Malia White is officially a mom<\/p>\n

While she kept her pregnancy under wraps until very recently, Malia White<\/a> confirmed her baby\u2019s birth with an Instagram post this morning. The carousel reveals the charter and sales broker\u2019s<\/a> pregnancy journey from just the teeniest twinkle in her eye, through the expansion of her belly and finally to a snap of an infant\u2019s tiny foot. Oh, the sweet little toes! <\/p>\n

\u201cHow it started versus how it\u2019s going,\u201d she captioned the post. Though she didn\u2019t share any pics of the baby, she did include photos of her elusive boyfriend Robert.<\/p>\n

Not surprisingly, Malia didn\u2019t include any other details of the baby\u2019s birth. She managed to keep her impending childbirth hidden from the media until nearly the last minute. Way to have a baby on your own terms, Malia!<\/p>\n

Though she caught her Below Deck<\/a> family by surprise, the announcement was met with joy. \u201cBest news ever!! So excited for you,\u201d\u00a0Bugsy Drake\u00a0commented, while Daisy Kelliher<\/a> simply wrote, \u201cWow congrats!\u201d<\/p>\n

Courtney Veale<\/a>\u00a0wrote, \u201cLove u guys. Can\u2019t wait to come round for cuddles soon xxxx.\u201d She also added a cheeky PS, \u201cIm deffo gonna be her favourite babysitter.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fellow deckie Alex Radcliffe was so gobsmacked by the news, he could only respond, \u201cHoly sh-tttttttt. Congrats dude.\u201d<\/p>\n

BDM co-star Natasha Webb<\/a>\u00a0added an affectionate comment: \u201cCongrats lovely. I just heard last night from one of the crew I\u2019m temping with now. So over the moon for you! Such amazing news.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Chief Stew, fellow Winter House<\/a> alum and best friend<\/a> Katie Flood<\/a> added her kudos: \u201cThis lil girl has no idea how lucky she is to have a Mumma like you, watch out world. Love you guys and our newest green crew member.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sounds as though Malia and Robert will have no trouble at all finding willing babysitters. Congratulations, Malia! <\/p>\n
