@doctorrah@NICEComms@RCObsGyn Just to add... no info at all, little information, no understandable info, no time to consider info, information given with bias narrative or statistics without context = no consent. This isn't a nice to have, it is an essential part of informed decision making.
@NICU_Musings My partner & I read 2 our 28 week baby every day 23 years ago. We sang songs, read books, talked 2 her about our day & hers, I remember her responding to our voices then, it was a wonderful thing 2 do for her and us. Kept us involved and active in her care.
We know that becoming a new parent can feel lonely + this month we would like to start a thread with all of the resources you found helpful. If you felt lonely as a new parent where were you able to get help?

Melissa Koch was an absolute super star through both our pregnancies and we feel indebted to her for the amazing care she gave us and our babies.

Also the night team on ward 9 were outstanding, especially one student midwife called Hannah. She was so lovely and really helped me through the two nights I was in. Midwives are incredible😍 #IDM2022#InternationalDayoftheMidwife
My birth turned in2 a very fast decision making labour + all midwives on duty that evening were amazing. They made me feel safe + as calm as could be in an emergency situation. #IDM2022#InternationalDayoftheMidwife

A truly wonderful lady inside and out. Not sure how I would of got through my hard times and the good without her. I cant thank her enough x #IDM2022#InternationalDayoftheMidwife
Qe had a weekend off... but they are still coming!.. RM Nicola Fairgrieve, is beyond incredible. She was with me through 2 pregnancies + births. 1 of those was incredibly hard as we hit the first lockdown +I wasnt allowed my husband in theatre 4 my c section
It was awful I cried + cried. But there she was in her bee keeper outfit, keeping me calm. Knowing she was there meant the world. I recently had a miscarriage and she was there through that too. She was my rock.
