The maternity team at West Herts Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust celebrated the arrival of 13 New Year’s Eve babies and nine babies on New Year’s Day in a “heart-warming” transition to 2025.
The first baby to arrive at 9.02am on New Year’s Day was baby boy Rane (pictured), weighing just 2,476g, bringing joy to parents Deepasvi Rane and Sitan Gawas from Watford and the maternity team who supported their safe delivery.
Soon after, at 9.52am, a baby boy was born weighing 3,035g to parents Mfilu Mbongo and Braxely Jamieson from Watford.
Baby boy Brahmbhatt was the fifth New Year’s Day baby, born at 1.28pm and weighing 3,280g, to parents Shivangi Brahmbhatt and Rishi Raval from Hemel Hempstead.
Reflecting on the busy start to the year, delivery suite matron Justine Chung said: “Welcoming new babies into the world is always a privilege, but there’s something particularly special about those born as the New Year begins. It’s a moment full of hope and promise for the future, and we’re honoured to be part of their journey.”
The hard work of the trust’s maternity team is shown in the hit TV series Emma Willis: Delivering Babies. The show highlights the incredible work of the maternity team and gives viewers an inside look at the joys and challenges of childbirth.
