“Ruaidhrí could only come as far as reception with me and I wouldn’t see him again until I was in the delivery suite.”

“There were tears as we said goodbye but I just kept thinking ‘get it together Ailbhe – millions of women have done this before you and millions more will do it yet’.13 hours later we met our perfect baby boy ????.”

“I’ve had 2 weeks to reflect on what was the most surreal but amazing experience ever,” she continued.

“I couldn’t have asked for better care from my consultant and all the incredible midwives and staff at the Rotunda ❤️ Shoutout also to women’s bodies- you are f*%$ing amazing ????????.”
