THERE were 232 babies born in Wirral in August 2024 – did you welcome a new arrival?
Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust collates all the baby-related data every month detailing how many babies are born – boys and girls – whether there are any sets of twins or triplets and how babies are delivered.
There are stats for the number of babies born at Wirral Women and Children’s Hospital and how many are born at home or at Seacombe Birth Centre as well as the how many new arrivals were breast fed.
They also record the busiest day each month for births and whether babies are born on their due date, a little early or a little late.
There were 232 babies born in Wirral last month – 128 boys and 104 girls with five sets of twins.
Some 101 were vaginal births with 113 caesarean sections and 18 babies were born via ventouse or forceps delivery with 91 inductions.
There was one home or community birth and two water births and 141 babies were breast fed.
Some 10 babies arrived on their due date with 181 arriving early and 41 coming late.
August 13 and 14 were the busiest days of the month with 12 babies being welcomed into the world on each day.
Every month we appeal for your pictures of your new babies.
These babies feature in an online article every month and will also appear in a special supplement at the start of next year.
