The only thing that could persuade me to do something so gut-wobblingly nerve wracking was the opportunity to raise money for @blisscharity.
3 years ago I went into premature labour at work 300 miles away from home.
The following month was an intensely scary period of time made bearable by the compassion & professionalism of NHS workers & the guidance and support of @blisscharity.
I would have been lost without them.
Each year, thousands of families like mine are chaperoned through impossible decisions & tough conversations about their premature, often poorly babies by these incredible people.
In the third trimester of a difficult pregnancy now, I’m more grateful than ever for their dedication and kindness.
She was able to raise money for the Bliss charity. [54]
