We understand what a special time in your life this is and we want to make you as welcome and comfortable as possible. Partners are welcome in the Maternity Ward at any time of the day or night.

Sleeping arrangements within the suite are available should partners wish to stay the night for which there is no additional fee.

Baby Massage Classes

In addition, Deidre also offers baby massage classes. These classes are a wonderful way for parents to learn how to develop a strong and loving bond with their new baby through the power of touch.

You will learn a general relaxation massage routine as well as a more specific routine for wind, colic and constipation. This class will give you and your partner confidence and tools to aide in your baby’s growth.

For further information including costs and bookings, see Deidre directly on her morning round. For any enquiries please talk to our maternity ward clerk or speak to our midwifery staff.

Our maternity patients have the option of choosing from our a` la carte menu. Meals can also be ordered for partners at a small additional cost.

Our catering staff can assist you with menu choices and any special requests. If you have special dietary needs they can be easily arranged following admission.

Indulge in our special afternoon tea service and cake trolley which perfectly complements our a` la carte menu.
