Today is World Pre-eclampsia Day, a day to raise awareness of this serious pregnancy complication and its impact on mums and babies.
If pre-eclampsia was part of your journey, we're thinking of you.
For information and support, we recommend @apec_uk
And if your baby needed neonatal care, Bliss is here for you, too. 💙

My treat for tomorrow evening after APR. Someone asked me how I can read after reading and typing all day. Truth be told, I likes reading, I do! I get to dive into another world where I haven't written the chapters and relax!

The wonderful @fabianafausto has been running thesis clinics this week. Today was for year 3 PhD students @QUBSONM. Her goodie bags were so thoughtful. Thanks for all the advice and handy hints and tips 😀
I love the campus at this time of year! A lovely afternoon @QUBSONM chatting to first year PGR students preparing for differentiation
Shortlisted for Nursing Research Award at RCN Northern Ireland Nurse of the Year Awards! Absolutely delighted! 🥰 I couldn't do it without my lovely supervisors @Breidga_QUB_JNN and Dr Derek McLaughlin and all those who took part in my study @QUBSONM @theRCN
Looking forward to today's conference @qubgradschool and sharing my study with delegates!
Received an email from one of the pivotal researchers in the field of my research via @QUBelfast research portal PURE.... I have to say it was a great way to start my Monday! @QUBSONM

Today marks Parent Mental Health Day 2025 and we want to recognise how important it is to care for your own mental health as a parent.
We know it is not always easy when your baby is in hospital. It’s ok if things feel overwhelming right now. Take it one day at a time.
You might like to try some coping strategies to help you feel more in control of this difficult time. Effective coping strategies might include:
📝 Journaling
🦘 Focusing on kangaroo care with your baby (skin-to-skin)
👩🏼🤝🧑🏿 Sharing how you’re feeling with family, a trusted friend, or the staff caring for your little one
At Bliss, we understand that being a parent to a sick or premature baby can be overwhelming and it’s ok not to be ok. We’re here for you this #ParentMentalHealthDay.
What are you doing to support your mental health today? Let us know in the comments below. 👇🏾
