Birth Room Vibes Today 🙂

On Friday morning, a gorgeous mamma and an anxiously excited daddy headed to Rotorua for a planned induction of labour, bub having got themselves far too comfy for wanting to get on out. The induction process got underway, and over the day the ni**les started. The ni**les then turned into contractions, and it was game on. Just into the early hours of Saturday, waters broke, then things really kicked up a notch. What an absolute superstar this mamma was. Back-breaking contractions came rolling in. Mamma dug deep, no pain relief, and the time to push came. Within good time a beautiful baby girl had arrived earthside, a proud daddy watching on in awe of his partner and daughter, so in love with them both. Welcome sweet baby girl, your big sister will be so happy to meet you.

On Thursday evening a third time mamma started the ni**le that went throughout the night, and by Friday morning, labour was definitely on. She knew her body and she knew it was time to head into Maternity. Supported by her loving hubby, she made her way up the stairs to Maternity, they must have felt like they were going on forever. The feeling to push was well and truly upon her. Within 40 minutes of arriving the most gorgeous wee girl was caught by a very proud daddy and placed into her mammas loving arms. What a beautiful birth, and a beautiful family. Congratulations.

Last Thursday 19th Feb a lovely second time mamma headed to Rotorua for her scheduled C section. Unfortunately, despite being there all day, the procedure didn’t happen due to other urgent matters. Poor mamma was nil by mouth all day, not ideal ☹ So off home she went, only to return the next day in the hope that her c section would happen. Thankfully by mid-morning a beautiful baby girl arrived via the sunroof, at 38 weeks gestation. Bubba was well grown at 9lb 11oz !! Mamma was glad she didn’t go to 40+ weeks awaiting labour!! This beautiful little girl joins her cool little (big) brother to make up an awesome family of 4 now. Congratulations and welcome to the world little one.

Yesterday, a lovely couple became first-time parents to a most beautiful baby girl. This Mumma came into clinic for a routine antenatal appointment at 10am and was holding her brand-new baby girl in her arms at 11:32am! Now that's pretty impressive! After waking to pains at 5am, she went about her morning, even sending Daddy-to-be off to work. It became apparent to her as she drove herself into her midwifery appointment, that things were ramping up. Partner met her to drive her to her appointment, and upon walking in and sitting down, her water broke... a quick check by LMC, and it was off to the maternity to have a baby! 8cm! What a speedy first birth, and what a star she was. Proud daddy knows he got off lightly, so will up the stakes with her push present! Aye Dad?! Welcome and Happy BIRTHday for yesterday, sweet, baby girl. X🩷

Another Modern Midwifery baby arrived on Saturday, the 21st of February... This beautiful baby girl had made herself quite comfy, so much so that an induction for postdates (or "overdue"), was needed. Usually, we are confident in saying "2nd babies fly out"... however, every journey is different, and this bubba had got herself into a tricky position (OP), so that delayed established labour from kicking in for several long hours. After a lot of self-belief, support and laughs, this strong Mumma breathed her baby out, with a proud Daddy watching on in awe. Your big sissy is loving on you big time! Welcome and Happy BIRTHday for the night of 21/02/2026, sweet baby girl. X🩷

In the early afternoon, on Saturday, the 21st of February, the 1st March baby for T-L arrived. Due to having broken waters for over 24 hours, and no established labour in sight, this 3rd time Mumma was on a time crunch before having to head to Rotorua for augmenting... nek minnit! Daddy comes out of the birth room and says "she feels like she needs to push"... O.K. Wow! 24 minutes from no regular contractions to baby being born... we were all pretty shocked and pleasantly surprised. This gender surprise baby is oh so cute... and a little boy! Daddy called it, and now to figure out a name! What a clever Mumma to get the job done at Taupo Maternity (just like her first two babies)! Welcome and Happy BIRTHday for the 21/2/26, sweet little boy. X💙
