Midwives and obstetricians at North Eastern will have their hands full this month with 58 babies due to be born in the hospital’s maternity ward.

That’s the most babies due in a single month for three years, and 50 per cent more than the average over the past 12 months.

North Eastern Community Hospital CEO Michele Smith said the numbers appear to be part of an upwards trend for births at the hospital.

“Our figures for April through to July this year are all up compared to the same time last year, which is really great to see,” she said.

“And now we are expecting a huge spike this month, which we are really excited about.

“We get great feedback from mums about their experience having their babies at our hospital, and we are committed to continuing to provide a welcoming, relaxed, family-friendly and community-minded environment for our patients and their loved ones.”
