Christmas is a festival that celebrates the birth of a child. So, what better way to mark the occasion than to recognise the first babies born in our hospitals.
The first baby delivered on Christmas day 2020 at Hillingdon Hospital was a daughter to first-time mother, Preeti Lather and new father, Gurjant Singh. The little girl, born at 04.24 on 25/12/2020 and weighing 3460g / 7lb 6oz, is as yet unnamed and is their first baby.
At The Hillingdon Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust we think that all of the babies born every year are pretty special. This year a bag of gifts will be given to the family of the first-born child on Christmas Day and New Year's Day in the Labour Ward and the Midwifery-Led Unit in the Maternity Department at Hillingdon Hospital.
Midwife, Ann Palmer, who was on duty for Christmas eve and morning, said, “We always look forward to greeting our Christmas babies; it’s an exciting time for all midwives and families on the ward. This year we have a special bag of gifts for this little girl to welcome her. I wish the family all the best for the future and a very Happy Christmas to everyone working today.”
