Did you know that more than 13 million babies are born too soon each year? Yesterday we spread awareness and love for World Prematurity Day. Babies born prior to 37 weeks gestation are at a greater risk for survival making access to quality prenatal and neonatal care crucial. World Prematurity Day is represented by the color purple, representing sensitivity and exceptionality. #WorldPrematurityDay2024 #prematurityawareness #worldprematurityday  

World Prematurity Day honours the strength of premature babies and their families, raising awareness about the unique health challenges they face. Premature births, occurring before 37 weeks, require specialized care to support development. With advances in neonatal care and family support, these babies can thrive. #WorldPrematurityDay #awareness2024

Today is World Prematurity Day! Over 13 million babies are born too soon every year. 💜 Every baby, no matter where, when, or how they are born, deserves access to quality care to survive and thrive. Did you know that around 60% of twins are born before 37 weeks? For TAPS twins, the average gestation is just 32 weeks, meaning that our families are very familiar with the neonatal units and long term outcomes of TAPS. Join us in raising awareness for preterm babies and their families, and as we talk about the special considerations for twins born with TAPS. We’ll be posting today about the things you need to know, and join us in ensuring they get the care they need. #WorldPrematurityDay2024 #WPD2024 #WorldPrematurityDay #WPD #BornTooSoon #PreemiePower #PretermBirth #PrematureBirth #TAPSTwins

Today is World Prematurity Day 2024 – a day close to my heart. Each year, millions of babies around the world are born too soon, facing incredible challenges and uncertainties. For parents, it’s a journey filled with fear, hope, and resilience. For me, it’s deeply personal. Having been born prematurely myself and now as a mum to a premature baby, I know how life-altering this experience can be. Prematurity is not just about tiny babies—it’s about families navigating unexpected paths, grappling with complex emotions, and finding strength in moments of vulnerability. This year’s theme reminds us of the importance of raising awareness, advancing neonatal care, and supporting families before, during, and after their NICU journey. Together, we can ensure that no parent feels alone and every baby receives the care they need to thrive. Let’s take a moment to reflect, to share, and to advocate for those born too soon. Whether it’s through supporting organisations, sharing stories, or simply lending an ear to a parent navigating this journey—every action makes a difference. If you’ve experienced prematurity, either as a parent, caregiver, or healthcare professional, I’d love to hear your stories. Let’s amplify our voices and continue to raise awareness together. 💜 #WorldPrematurityDay #PrematureBabies #RaisingAwareness #NICUJourney #TogetherWeGrow

🌟 April is C-Section Awareness Month! 🌟 Did you know that approximately 1 in 3 babies in the United States are delivered via cesarean section? This surgical procedure, while often necessary for the health and safety of both mother and baby, can also come with its own set of challenges and considerations. Throughout this month, let's take the opportunity to raise awareness about C-sections and the factors that may lead to their necessity. It's crucial to understand that while C-sections can be life-saving in certain situations, they also involve risks and implications for both maternal and infant health. As we observe C-Section Awareness Month, let's support expecting parents by providing them with accurate information about childbirth options, empowering them to make informed decisions about their delivery plans. Let's also acknowledge the incredible work of healthcare professionals who ensure safe deliveries every day, whether through vaginal birth or cesarean section. Join us in spreading awareness, promoting understanding, and advocating for maternal and infant health during C-Section Awareness Month! 💖👶 #CSectionAwareness #MaternalHealth #ChildbirthOptions
