Midwifery Led Unit, Drogheda

Providing midwifery care to women, their babies and families in the North-East since 2004

The MLU is a unit within the maternity department of OLOL, Drogheda which is managed and run by midwives. We provide antenatal care (in conjunction with GPs), labour, birth and postnatal care to healthy pregnant women. We run monthly antenatal education sessions which promote and support active birthing practices, baby care and breastfeeding. Midwives can recognise problems and refer mothers and/or babies to hospital doctors if the need arises.

A special thank you to our amazing colleague Claudia 🫶👩‍⚕️

After 3 wonderful years with us in the MLU, Claudia is heading off on an exciting new chapter back home in Spain 🏡☀️

Claudia has been an incredible midwife, colleague, and friend. Her kindness, support, skill, and intelligence have made such a difference to our team and to the many families she has cared for 💪

She has been a fantastic advocate for women and played such an important role in so many special moments—including helping lead the way with the first water birth in the MLU in 2023 👩🏽‍🍼

Anyone who has worked with Claudia knows her dedication and commitment, and we’ve been so lucky to have her as part of our team.

Wishing you all the very best in this next adventure, Claudia—you’ll always be part of the MLU family 🫶✨

🎉 Exciting News for New Mums 🎉

We’re delighted to share that Our Lady of Lourdes Maternity Services have launched a brand-new support service — our Postnatal Hubs 💛

From now on, all new mums will automatically receive an appointment to attend a postnatal hub around 3 weeks after birth, in a location close to home 🏡

These community-based hubs are designed to offer enhanced postnatal care, a chance to check in, ask questions, and be sign-posted early to any additional supports you may need🤱🏻

We’re so proud to be expanding our services and strengthening support for women during this important and often vulnerable transition into motherhood 💕
