WE DID IT!! 🎉 An historic moment for neonatal families! Having led the campaign, putting the parent voice at the heart of everything we do, we are thrilled that the Neonatal Care (Leave and Pay) Bill has received Royal Assent!


“At first I thought these feelings were just part of adjusting to the shock of having a premature baby. It wasn’t until my symptoms persisted - the nightmares, the anxiety, the emotional numbness - that I realised something deeper was wrong.” Emma’s story thesmallestthings.org/after-nicu-1/l…

Have you seen! 👀 📄 The new report outlines recommendations for perinatal mental health services, Health Visitor training, follow up services, and shows support for our very own Prem Aware scheme - your voices have been heard! Read our formal response thesmallestthings.org/smallest-thing…

It’s vital the whole healthcare system understands the impact of a neonatal admission and the need for specialist support and training to help families ⬇️ @NeoLeaPEngland

"I still have flashbacks from the NICU that I haven't addressed, on top of new trauma from the multiple admissions Elsie has had. I would tell other NICU parents to take each day as it comes and seek help if you need it. There is no shame in it!" - Miriam thesmallestthings.org/after-nicu-1/l…

We understand, we’ve been there 💜 One of the unique things about The Smallest Things is that we are led by parents who’ve had premature babies. This #TrusteesWeek find out more about our Trustees, including their own personal journey with prematurity - thesmallestthings.org/who-we-are-1

💜 World Prematurity Month 2024: Living with perinatal PTSD “Perinatal PTSD is a part of my story, but it doesn’t define me as a mother. Instead, it has taught me the value of self-compassion, patience, and the importance of asking for help.” – Emma thesmallestthings.org/after-nicu-1/l…
