Pembrokeshire’s midwife led unit is celebrating the number of babies that arrived in February.

There were 16 Pembrokeshire babies born at the unit in Haverfordwest’s Withybush Hospital – with an even split on girls and boys.

Other stats include five water births, nine breast feeding mums and two planned home births.

The heaviest baby born was 4240g and the lightest 2690g.

The monthly updates are set to continue throughout the year, with the first of 2020 showing 18 Pembrokeshire babies – 12 girls and six boys.

In January there were seven water births and three planned home births.

Twelve mums were breastfeeding their babies.

The heaviest baby was 4174g and the lightest 2400g.

Pembrokeshire’s maternity service has a team of community midwives and women identified as having no risk factors, and who are having a normal pregnancy, are able to choose where they want to give birth – home or at the MLU.

Those with complications or requiring additional care are advised to consider the consultant led unit at Carmarthen.
