New Year delight as Limerick mum delivers son on kitchen floor

Limerick mother Aine Laffan cooked up a New Year’s Day storm in her kitchen as she delivered her son Odhran on the kitchen floor.

Aine, 34, from Lisnagry, had wanted a home birth, but didn’t expect it so soon —little Odhran arrived three weeks ahead of his due date, weighing an even seven pounds, and looking for his breakfast.

“I’m feeling great, tired, but great. I’ll never forget it; I had him in the kitchen, on the floor. We’ll never be able to look at the spot on the floor in the same way,” she laughed.
