Lauren Conrad has welcomed her first child, a baby boy named Liam James Tell

Lauren revealed the news of her pregnancy via Instagram on New Year's Day, sharing a photo of her sonogram, writing: "Happy New Year! I have a feeling 2017 is going to be the best year yet…" In an interview with the July issue of Fit Pregnancy and Baby, the 31-year-old admitted she "really wanted" to have a little boy. "My husband kept saying, 'We just want a healthy baby.' And I'd say, 'But a boy would be nice!'" She explained: "I was a wild little tomboy, so I think I understand boys. My mum always told me that nobody loves you like a son does, especially when he's young."

Speaking to Parents magazine about the birth itself, Lauren shared: "My friends have said, 'Have a plan, but don’t be so committed that you're unwilling to change if you need to.' I'm not worried about the pain that comes with giving birth. Maybe I'm just naïve, but it's pretty low on my list of concerns. I feel like women have been doing this forever."
