Midwifery Led Unit, Drogheda

Midwifery Led Unit, Drogheda Providing midwifery care to women, their babies and families in the North-East since 2004

The MLU is a unit within the maternity department of OLOL, Drogheda which is managed and run by midwives. We provide antenatal care (in conjunction with GPs), labour, birth and postnatal care to healthy pregnant women. We run monthly antenatal education sessions which promote and support active birthing practices, baby care and breastfeeding. Midwives can recognise problems and refer mothers and/or babies to hospital doctors if the need arises.

Thanks so much to Emma and Jamie for sharing these photos and kind words 🫶

“I think it's hard to put into words how we feel about the experience, from the very first appointment right up to the birth of Éabha the MLU has been amazing! We were blown away by the support we received from everyone and how friendly and reassuring every single midwife we met was! In particular on the night Louise continued to keep me so calm and I'm so grateful for her that I had such a positive birth experience. Myself and Jamie feel very grateful to everyone in the MLU for everything through my pregnancy and birth.”

A special thank you to our amazing colleague Claudia 🫶👩‍⚕️

After 3 wonderful years with us in the MLU, Claudia is heading off on an exciting new chapter back home in Spain 🏡☀️

Claudia has been an incredible midwife, colleague, and friend. Her kindness, support, skill, and intelligence have made such a difference to our team and to the many families she has cared for 💪

She has been a fantastic advocate for women and played such an important role in so many special moments—including helping lead the way with the first water birth in the MLU in 2023 👩🏽‍🍼

Anyone who has worked with Claudia knows her dedication and commitment, and we’ve been so lucky to have her as part of our team.

Wishing you all the very best in this next adventure, Claudia—you’ll always be part of the MLU family 🫶✨
