Bluebell Birth Centre welcomes 100th baby

South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust is delighted to announce that the Bluebell Birth Centre has welcomed its 100th baby since it opened on 2 July 2018.

Lyndsay and Tom from Stratford-upon-Avon welcome their baby into the world at 7:14am on Wednesday 11 October 2018. The baby girl weighed in at 8lbs 6oz and has been named Hannah.

The Bluebell Birth Centre at Warwick Hospital has received positive feedback from parents so far, as it offers the opportunity to birth in a comfortable, homely environment, rather than a more clinical setting. With its own separate entrance, the new facility offers four birthing rooms, with birthing pools available in all of them.

The new parents commented: “Having toured the fantastic facilities at Warwick, we were very excited to be given the go ahead to birth at the Bluebell Centre. We had a great experience as the birthing room was relaxing and comfortable with soft lighting, Bluetooth speakers and a wonderful pool which meant that I could have the water birth that I wanted.”

The Birth & Babies Appeal is funding specialist birth equipment and facilities for the centre and has received tremendous support since launching last year. The NHS Trust is calling on the community to help it reach the £200,000 target to ensure that all four birthing rooms have the best possible environment for women and their families. So far over £165,000 has been donated.

Lyndsay added: “It’s clear that the 100th baby milestone means a huge deal to the Bluebell staff. Louise, one of the midwives, very kindly knitted a lovely bunny and matching hat which Hannah adores. We’d like to say a huge thank you to all of the staff for the safe arrival of our baby girl.”
