Blanka and Damian Debert, from Lupset, welcomed baby Olivia last weekend at the Bronte Birth Centre, which is located on the Dewsbury and District Hospital site.
Blanka said: “I love Bronte Birth Centre.
"Olivia’s was my third birth there, out of four – my first baby was born before it opened – and it’s the best place for me to have a baby, so I was really glad that it was reopening in time for this birth.
“It’s a lovely, calm atmosphere and feels like home.

"I would really recommend it as a place to birth and I’m really grateful to the staff who supported me and my family.”
The free-standing birth centre, part of the Mid Yorkshire Teaching NHS Trust, reopened on April 1 after it was closed for almost two years.
Talib Yaseen, chief nursing officer for the trust, said: “We’re delighted to have been able to reopen Bronte Birth Centre and I’m touched by Blanka’s positive feedback.

The Bronte Birth Centre says it will provide parents with “low risk” pregnancies a calm, relaxing space to birth their babies, supported by a core team of midwives who aim to provide high quality and personalised care.
