💜Our December birth stats are here! See below for some more information and a bit of context for December's data. 💜
Each month we will also share the top 5 reasons for induction and caesarean for that month as we often get a lot of questions about this.

For December:

Top 5 reasons for induction -
1. Reduced fetal movements (14%)
2. Prolonged rupture of membranes (14%)
3. Diabetes (11%)
4. Post dates (9%)
5. Larger baby (8%)

1. Previous caesarean (26%)
2. Maternal request (20%)
3. CTG concerns in labour (10%)

What is a VBAC?
It stands for ‘Vaginal birth after a caesarean’. It includes any type of vaginal birth following a caesarean in a previous birth.
We hope this will answer some of your questions.

Lincoln Maternity saw in a very busy New Years Eve last night, and welcomed the very first baby of 2026 into the world!!

A very happy birthday to baby Elena who made an appearance at 02:11 weighing a healthy 2.9kg. Our lovely midwife Kim looked after them 🩷.

Congratulations from everyone at Lincoln Maternity, and a very happy new year to you all.

Meet El, one of our amazing Student Midwives from De Montford University. She is celebrating her 40th birth! Training to become a midwife can be incredibly challenging and in order to qualify you must personally manage 40 births, so this marks a huge milestone for El.

She says:
“I have trained at Lincoln County for the last 2 years!

From the minute I walked in as a second year student I was never referred to as ‘the student’, staff took time to know my name and include me as part of the team. I have loved looking after the women here in Lincoln with the most amazing supervisors whether that was on the ward, community or Bardney ward.

I chose to do my third year here in Lincoln and I am hoping I will get to work alongside the midwives who taught me in my blues!

I genuinely want to thank every woman and their families who have trusted me to deliver care to them whether that was in pregnancy, during labour or post natally.

I would 100% recommend doing your midwifery training here in Lincoln!
Thank you to the most amazing staff at Lincoln Maternity, you all hold a special place in my heart, love El 🫶🏼”

Every year at Lincoln Maternity we have a wonderful, heart warming tradition where the family of the first baby born on Christmas Day the previous year bring a gift for the first baby born the following year.

Here we have last year’s baby and their family delivering their gift to labour ward, ready for the first baby born this Christmas Day.

At 14.17 yesterday afternoon, the first Christmas Day baby was born; a beautiful baby boy weighing 3120g, and received his gift. One of our fabulous Midwives, Olivia, helped bring him into the world.

Follow along to see the tradition continue next year. 👶🎁
