Another Mother’s Day baby, Skylar Liberty, was welcomed by her proud mum Angela Liberty from Harpenden. Baby Skylar arrived at 9.15pm, weighing 3.8kg. Angela’s mum, Grandma Ina, was especially thrilled to greet her daughter’s first child.
Also celebrating was the family of baby girl , whose first name is yet to be chosen, who made her arrival just before Mother’s Day at midnight, weighing 3.2kg. She was welcomed by parents Nilpa Shah and Ketan Lad from Bushey in Watford. She is the couple’s second child.
Emma Mitchener, Director of Midwifery and Gynaecology Nursing, said: “It is always special to celebrate new mothers and their families as they welcome their babies, but doing so on Mother’s Day feels particularly meaningful.
“I would like to express my sincere thanks to our dedicated maternity teams, who supported families and helped safely deliver their newborns during this memorable day.”
