A New Baby, A Lasting Tradition: Three Generations at Northpark.
There’s something incredibly special about family traditions, and for Keira, Northpark Private Hospital is where her family’s story truly begins. On September 3rd, Keira welcomed her beautiful baby boy, Samuel Alexander Martin, into the world - a joyful new chapter in a legacy that started with her own birth at Northpark in 1996. 💙
"As soon as my OB, Kim Thompson, suggested Northpark, there was no doubt in my mind my little boy was going to be born there too,” Keira said. “I never hesitated with my choice because I’ve only ever heard amazing things about this place. It felt so special experiencing the kindness and warmth from the nurses, doctors, and staff myself, and knowing my mum had such a great experience here too was the cherry on top."
Keira’s mum is a proud Northpark alum, having given birth there four times: to Tegan in 1994, Keira herself in 1996, Sarah in 1998 and Mitchell in 1999. For Keira, bringing Samuel into the world at the same hospital where she and her family began their journeys of life and parenthood feels like a beautiful full-circle moment.
"When I told my mum we were going to Northpark, I saw the smile on her face, and I knew it was going to be special,” Keira shared.
But it wasn’t just the location that made Keira’s experience so meaningful, it was the people. "I cannot stress how amazing the staff were. Sam is my first baby and the thought of childbirth freaked me out, but I realised pretty quickly I had a great team behind me the entire stay," she said. "I felt comfortable, safe, and any small or big questions I had were all answered with such care that I wasn't worried in the slightest going home."
With Samuel now in her arms, Keira’s heart is full, and she knows this is just the beginning of a beautiful journey.
“It’s definitely been an amazing start to motherhood, and I really do have Northpark to thank. One day when my little boy starts his own family, I’ll be in his ear telling him to go to Northpark Private.”
Congratulations to Keira and her family and a warm welcome to the world, Samuel! 💙👶
