Every year at Lincoln Maternity we have a wonderful, heart warming tradition where the family of the first baby born on Christmas Day the previous year bring a gift for the first baby born the following year.

Here we have last year’s baby and their family delivering their gift to labour ward, ready for the first baby born this Christmas Day.

At 14.17 yesterday afternoon, the first Christmas Day baby was born; a beautiful baby boy weighing 3120g, and received his gift. One of our fabulous Midwives, Olivia, helped bring him into the world.

Follow along to see the tradition continue next year. 👶🎁

Day 24, and the final day, of the Lincoln Maternity Christmas Countdown gives us a fantastic midwife, Debbie, and her 3rd year student midwife, Aaliya!

“My name is Debbie Stanney and I have been a Midwife at Lincoln for the last 9 years, spending the last 2 years as a Community Midwife. As a Community Midwife every day is different and whilst sometimes challenging it is an honour and a privilege to care for women from their first booking appointment through to caring for them at home with their newborn baby (sometimes supporting them through labour and birth, welcoming their newborn in the home setting). Working in partnership with Student Midwives, teaching, supporting and guiding them through their training is something I will always find particularly special as you witness first hand their progression over 3 years to the point of qualification. Student Midwives test our knowledge and draw from our experience daily to develop their own practice, we do learn from them too so it becomes a great partnership (every day is a school day). I have been very fortunate to be a Supervisor and Assessor for some outstanding Student Midwives and knowing that I have had a positive impact and contributed to their training fills me with enormous pride!

Aaliya says….
“By my 3rd year as a Student Midwife everything felt more settled and familiar yet still incredibly special. I shared so many magical moments with so many families, being trusted during some of the most important times in their lives. I was so lucky to have the best mentors and support around me, people who guided, encouraged and shaped me into the Midwife I am today and I’m deeply thankful to have them as part of my story. Balancing study with long emotional shifts wasn’t always easy, but the kindness, connection and meaning behind the work made it worthwhile. I’ve always wanted to do this for as long as I can remember and standing here now it truly feels like a dream come true.”

A very happy Christmas to everyone, hope you all have a fantastic Christmas. Tomorrow we will hopefully meet our first Christmas baby. 👶 🎄🎅

Day 22 of the Lincoln Maternity Christmas Countdown gives us….Rachel and Beth, our incredible Bereavement Midwife and Bereavement Maternity Support Worker.

Bereavement midwives and maternity support workers play a vital role in caring for families who experience the heartbreaking loss of a baby. They provide compassionate, specialist support during and after pregnancy loss, helping parents navigate their grief, make memories, and access the emotional and practical support they need during the most difficult times.

Rachel and Beth are an exceptional team, supporting families across both Lincoln County Hospital and Pilgrim Hospital. They are known not only for their kindness, compassion and unwavering support for the women and families they care for, but also for the care and support they show every colleague within maternity services.

We are also incredibly proud to share that Rachel and Beth have recently secured funding through United Lincolnshire Hospitals Charity, which will help provide much-needed specialist support and counselling for bereaved parents across our services.

Rachel Bond, Specialist Bereavement Midwife at ULTH, said:

“We are immensely proud to have secured funding from United Lincolnshire Hospitals Charity to provide a much-needed service to support the bereaved families that we care for. Echoing the words of Petals, we believe all families should have access to specialist bereavement counselling following the loss of a baby. We recognise the devastation that the loss of a baby has on families, regardless of gestation and hope that the provision of this service will make a positive difference to our families in their time of need.”

Thank you, Rachel and Beth, for the compassion, strength and dedication you bring every day. You truly make a difference. 🤍✨

Anne, Bernie, Amy and Emily are part of a larger team who work in antenatal triage and are there to help when you might have some worries or concerns about your baby.

The Antenatal Assessment Centre provide a vital service for pregnant women who need urgent advice, assessment, or reassurance during pregnancy. Midwives working in these areas assess symptoms such as reduced fetal movements, pain, bleeding, or concerns about blood pressure, using their clinical expertise to monitor both mother and baby and decide on the most appropriate next steps, working closely with our team of doctors. They provide reassurance, ensuring women receive safe, responsive, and compassionate support at what can be an anxious time.

Day 20 of the Lincoln Maternity Countdown to Christmas gives us ….. our fantastic team of Obstetric Sonographers!

Here we have Megan, Tanisha, Claire, Claire and Naz! They are part of the team who you will meet when you come to Antenatal Clinic for a scan.

Obstetric sonographers are highly skilled professionals who specialise in performing ultrasound scans during pregnancy. They use advanced imaging technology to monitor the baby’s growth, development, and wellbeing, assess the placenta and amniotic fluid, and identify any potential concerns at different stages of pregnancy. Sonographers also play an important role in supporting and reassuring parents during scans, explaining findings clearly, and working closely with midwives and obstetricians to ensure timely, safe, and informed care for both mother and baby.

See you tomorrow! 🎄

Day 17 of the Lincoln Maternity Countdown o Christmas brings us two of our newly qualified Midwives, Ruby and Jess.

Ruby trained at De Montford University and started with us in May, and Jess trained at University of Lincoln and started with us this September. They both had placements at Lincoln maternity while they were training and worked incredibly hard, returning to join us as qualified midwives.

Their journey from student to registered midwife reflects both their dedication and the supportive learning environment they trained in. Through a structured preceptorship programme, they’re continuing to build confidence, skills, and professional growth with guidance from experienced colleagues as they transition into their new roles.

We have such a fantastic team of newly qualified Midwives across the Trust, and we can’t wait to see how they develop and progress into band 6, experienced Midwives.
