Robyn was born at the Rotunda on 4th March 2022 following a significant shoulder dystocia. She was born with a broken arm and required resuscitation, making for an incredibly frightening start to life for her new parents.
The amazing Rotunda team, including Dr Vicky O’Dwyer, worked incredibly hard to care for Robyn, who spent time in the NICU receiving cooling treatment. Throughout those difficult days, the Rotunda staff supported Nicole and her family every step of the way, and thankfully, Robyn was discharged on her due date ❤️
Since then, Robyn has gone on to meet all her milestones and is now a happy, bubbly little girl who takes on life with a smile. She has recently started primary school and is loving this exciting new chapter!
Then, in April 2025, Robyn returned to the Rotunda for an incredibly special moment, when her little brother Dáire was born. She even got to meet Dr O’Dwyer again, bringing their story beautifully full circle🥹
Nicole and her family hope sharing Robyn’s story can offer a little hope and reassurance to other families facing a difficult start💕
Thank you to Nicole for sharing Robyn’s story with us!
