At just three days old, tiny Scarlett was fitted with a pacemaker the size of a bottle top after being diagnosed with fetal congenital heart block (CHB) at a 20-week scan.

The rare heart condition means the signals in the heart fail to communicate, often causing an extremely low heart rate.

Baby Scarlett arrived at 34 weeks and was transferred to our Children's Hospital, where she spent the first four weeks of her life recovering from heart surgery.

Now, five months old, Scarlett is at home with her parents and older brothers Harvey and Mason 💜

Lauren said: “We’ll forever be grateful to everyone involved in our journey, from the Fetal Medicine Team to the transport team and the Cardiology team.

Introducing baby Eden 💜

Eden was born in January this year, and mum Katharine and Dad John wanted to thank the staff who looked after them.

Katharine said: "Eden is a IVF triple rainbow baby and so a huge blessing. The care I received from the hospital has overall been fantastic.

"The bereavement teams helped me through my grief and gave me so much hope. I have received so much compassionate care along the way from various staff members in EPAU, the sonography team and the fantastic triage midwives understanding my triggers and doing what they can to ease my anxiety.

"The Keller team have also been brilliant.

"There’s so many to thank including the anaesthetists and doctors on the delivery suite who ensured my son was delivered safe and well and also the staff on the induction ward. I feel very lucky to have had my son at the Women’s Hospital."

Meet Nevaeh-Hope, who spent the first 138 days of her life on our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit when she was born premature at 23 weeks. 💞

Mum Tia said: "I started to experience bleeding and Nevah-Hope was then born at 23 weeks and five days.

"Nevaeh spent 138 days in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, where she was supported so well and although her journey was challenging, we were supported all the way through.

"Nevaeh is now 9 months old, is on a small bit of oxygen and is thriving. She continues to smash every milestone and has started to do everything we never thought we would see.

"She continues to be seen at the baby clinic and the amazing nurses and consultants love to see her development and how well she is doing"💜

Your antenatal appointments explained 💡

During your pregnancy, you’ll be invited to a number of appointments where you’ll see a midwife, or sometimes, an obstetrician (doctor specialising in pregnancy).

The purpose of the appointment is to check on the health of both you and your baby and to provide information and answer any questions you may have.

On our online Antenatal Education Hub, you’ll find a breakdown of each of these appointments, what to expect from them and a range of leaflets, resources and support.

From your booking appointment to labour, birth and immediately after, we’ve got you covered: https://orlo.uk/qmEda

“Timely antenatal screening is so important to find people who have a higher chance of health conditions."

Clinics have been brought to mums-to-be in the community reducing health inequalities and barriers in accessing antenatal screening and blood tests in early pregnancy.

The Early Bird Clinic has been set up as a pilot for six months across areas covered by the Edward Road Community team from our Women’s Hospital.

Celebrating over 7000 years of service .🎉

Last month, 350 NHS heroes with a combined 7000 years of service came together to celebrate in a series of events held by our Trust for the care and compassion showed to patients and their families over the years.
