Planned Caesarean sections have taken place for the first time in almost seven years at the largest hospital in Moray.
Three babies – a boy and two girls – have been delivered since the return of the service at Dr Gray's in Elgin earlier this month.
The first was 8lb 7oz baby boy Lucas to parents Jacqui Law and Brian Laird, from Keith.
Services at Dr Gray's were downgraded in 2018 due to staff shortages, forcing most expectant mothers in the area to travel to Aberdeen for births.
A Caesarean section, or C-section, is a surgical operation to deliver a baby through a cut made in the mother's tummy and womb.
New mum Jacqui said she felt relaxed during the operation and staff took good care of her.
She added: "I know one of the nurses who works in theatre, one of my best friends, and she was there so that made the experience really happy and positive as well.
"I was really excited about possibly being the first C-section here in a while which I did end up being and it was all such a positive experience.
"I'll definitely remember it."
