At 29 weeks pregnant I was diagnosed with placenta acreeta. This meant I had to move to Southampton at 32 weeks pregnant, being separated from Family and Friends.

I gave birth to Beautiful Baby Nico at 35 weeks pregnant (I was too high risk to go full term). He was born under general anesthetic, and was transferred to the neonatal intensive care in a separate hospital. As you can imagine this was a scary time for all of us.

The surgery was high risk, with unknown outcomes, but thankfully due to a highly skilled surgeon it went as smoothly (as possible). Now time for the long recovery!

Family First were fantastic, supporting us all as a Family throughout this experience. Not only financially but gave great advice and support, signposting us throughout. Big Thank you to Jess x

As a Family we want to give something back and raise funds for this incredible charity. I doubt we would have coped with this situation so well without the help from this Charity.

To all the kind people who want to buy him a gift, please make a donation instead x

We are home now. With a strong and healthy 11 day old Beautiful Boy 💙

Dom will also be taking part in ‘Its a knockout’ this year raising funds for the Jersey Neonatal Charity- He’s on the look out for team mates ☺️
