Dr. Oluyinka Olutoye, a Nigerian pediatric surgeon, made history by performing a rare fetal surgery at just 23 weeks of pregnancy. He temporarily removed the baby from the womb, excised a tumor from the tailbone, and safely returned the fetus. Months later, the child was born healthy, marking one of modern medicine’s most extraordinary surgical achievements.

This should be the standard at all hospitals ♥️

At South Shore Hospital, we want your Golden Hour experience to be uniquely yours.

Patients on our Maternity Unit will see this Golden Hour "menu" upon admission, allowing them to make specific choices for their experience.

If the newborn and birthing parent don't require extra support after birth, our team will work collaboratively with the parent to meet as many requests as possible.

Pregnancy after loss can be a delicate balance of joy, grief and self-protection. Whether you’re deciding when to share the news or navigating casual conversations with strangers, even the simplest exchanges can stir up complicated emotions.

Podcasters and popular content creators Alexandra Madison and Jon Bouffard know this all to well. Last June, they lost their baby, Leo Grey, at 26 weeks. Now expecting again, they’ve been on a daily emotional rollercoaster.

Recently, the Give It to Me Straight hosts went viral for a scripted skit that uses humor to capture the awkwardness of answering questions when you’re pregnant after loss. Find the skit, and messages from parents who relate to it, here > https://thebump.visitlink.me/v_lI7f

Alyse Ogletree of Texas has broken her own Guinness World Record by donating 2,645.58 liters of breast milk, far surpassing the 1,569.79 liters she set in 2014. Her contributions, primarily through the Mothers’ Milk Bank of North Texas, have provided critical nutrition to more than 350,000 premature and medically fragile infants. With one liter able to feed roughly 11 babies, her donations have had a massive reach.

Ogletree began her mission in 2010 after discovering she was producing more milk than her own child needed. She committed to a strict schedule, pumping every three hours — including throughout the night — for years. Her relentless effort has not only saved countless lives but also earned her global recognition for extraordinary generosity.

A single ounce of milk can provide up to three feedings for premature or medically fragile babies – there's a reason it's referred to as "liquid gold!"

We're proud to partner with Mothers' Milk Bank Northeast to raise awareness of the need for milk donors, particularly as demand for donor milk continues to increase.

Mothers' Milk Bank Northeast, which helped provide more than a million feedings last year, is actively seeking new milk donors to help vulnerable infants throughout the region.

Your freezer stash could be a huge boost to a baby and family in need!
