💜👶 Today is World Prematurity Day👶💜 Did you know that 1 in 10 babies in Glasgow are born prematurely? Each year, almost 2,000 tiny and vulnerable babies are cared for in Glasgow’s neonatal units at the @rhcglasgow, @prm_neo_team and the @neonatalrah. Babies just like Millie. Hear her remarkable story from Mum, Steph. 'Our NICU journey began in October 2021 when I had my daughter delivered via emergency section due to severe ill maternal health caused by Covid.' 'Our daughter had to be delivered at 26 weeks as I was only producing enough oxygen to keep our baby alive and not myself. I was put into a medically induced coma and I didn’t get to meet our daughter Millie until 5 days after she was born.' 'Thankfully for the charity funded project vCreate, I was able to see pictures and videos of her which did help massively.' 'Millie spent 11 weeks in NICU before we were able to take her home. She truly is our little Millie the Miracle. We didn't manage to get her home for Christmas last year, so this December is super special for us!' 🎄 'Prematurity awareness is so important to us because it’s something we never really knew about until we were flung in the deep end, and now we know so much.' 'I think it’s something everyone should know about and know how serious having a premature baby is, because you never know when it could be you or someone you love going through this in life.'
