Today is World Pre-eclampsia Day, a day to raise awareness of this serious pregnancy complication and its impact on mums and babies. If pre-eclampsia was part of your journey, we're thinking of you. For information and support, we recommend @apec_uk And if your baby needed neonatal care, Bliss is here for you, too. 💙 #WorldPreeclampsiaDay #PreeclampsiaAwareness #NeonatalCare

My treat for tomorrow evening after APR. Someone asked me how I can read after reading and typing all day. Truth be told, I likes reading, I do! I get to dive into another world where I haven't written the chapters and relax! (When Ruth writes its nothing like Gavin and Stacey)

Today marks Parent Mental Health Day 2025 and we want to recognise how important it is to care for your own mental health as a parent. We know it is not always easy when your baby is in hospital. It’s ok if things feel overwhelming right now. Take it one day at a time. You might like to try some coping strategies to help you feel more in control of this difficult time. Effective coping strategies might include: 📝 Journaling 🦘 Focusing on kangaroo care with your baby (skin-to-skin) 👩🏼‍🤝‍🧑🏿 Sharing how you’re feeling with family, a trusted friend, or the staff caring for your little one At Bliss, we understand that being a parent to a sick or premature baby can be overwhelming and it’s ok not to be ok. We’re here for you this #ParentMentalHealthDay. What are you doing to support your mental health today? Let us know in the comments below. 👇🏾 #ParentMentalHealthDay2025 #MentalHealth #OkNotToBeOk
