How I Met Your Mother star Alyson Hannigan was given a special gift on her 35th birthday - her first-born child.

The actress and husband Alexis Denisof welcomed baby Satyana into the world on March 24 - meaning mother and daughter will share the special anniversary.

A spokesperson for the star tells People.com, "They're very excited, and mom and baby are doing great."

And Hannigan, who kept the sex of her baby a secret throughout the pregnancy, will be glad she has given birth - because she lost the ability to concentrate while she was with child.

She told TV host Ellen DeGeneres in February, "I get tired a lot and I have pregnancy brain, which I never realized was a thing but it is. I sort of feel like a Koala bear where I'm slightly stoned all the time and I'll say the wrong word."

Hannigan and Denisof met on the set of Buffy The Vampire Slayer in 2000 and married in California in 2003.
