Midwifery Led Unit, Drogheda

Midwifery Led Unit, Drogheda Providing midwifery care to women, their babies and families in the North-East since 2004

The MLU is a unit within the maternity department of OLOL, Drogheda which is managed and run by midwives. We provide antenatal care (in conjunction with GPs), labour, birth and postnatal care to healthy pregnant women. We run monthly antenatal education sessions which promote and support active birthing practices, baby care and breastfeeding. Midwives can recognise problems and refer mothers and/or babies to hospital doctors if the need arises.

🟣 Domestic Violence Awareness Day 🟣

Today is Purple Day. A day to raise awareness around domestic violence.
35% of women in Ireland have experienced partner abuse in their lifetime and 25% of women experience some form of intimate partner violence during pregnancy.

Domestic Violence has many effects during pregnancy on both you and your baby and abuse often escalates in pregnancy. Seeking help early can reduce the risks to both you and your baby.

Seeking help can feel difficult but you are not alone! Even one confidential conversation can help reduce isolation. There are many practical supports available and we are always here to listen, help and support you 🫶
