A Mother’s Day to remember as tiny bundles of joy are born at Ulster Hospital

Mums-to-be received the greatest gift of all to celebrate Mother’s Day, with the birth of their babies at the Ulster Hospital.

As she cradled her beautiful baby daughter Tuathlaith, Abi McCrory described the birth and arrival on Mother’s Day as “such a wee blessing”.

She added: “It is just amazing to have Tuathlaith here as she wasn’t due until March 20. She must have decided Mother’s Day was the day!”

Tuathlaith, who was dressed in her beautiful pink Easter bunny suit, weighed seven pounds 10 ounces and came into the world at 4.35am. “Tuathlaith’s Dad Paul and I are just delighted,” Abi added.
