A YEAR after the Darley Dale Birth Centre opened, the first mum to deliver a bundle of joy at the re-launched unit is celebrating her daughter's first birthday.
Frances Callaway (20) gave birth to her first baby, Lola, at 8.40pm on October 1 after a 17-hour labour with just gas and air for pain relief.
She was 11 days overdue and set to be induced when Lola, who weighed 7lbs 3ozs, decided to make an entrance into the world.
Frances, who lives on Dore Lane, Hathersage, was planning to go to Jessops, part of the Royal Hallamshire Hospital, Sheffield, to give birth until her midwife recommended the new Darley Dale Birth Centre.
She said: "It wasn't like being in hospital, it was very homely. It's not as busy, there's not as many people walking in and out.
"It was very friendly and the delivery room was really calm. There was a nice atmosphere and music playing."
Frances stayed overnight after the birth and was given help bathing and feeding baby Lola.
She said she and her partner, Adam Wilson (27), would like to have more children in the future and she would definitely go back to Darley to give birth.
