⭐️ ❤️ HAPPY 9TH BIRTHDAY BLAYZE ⭐️❤️

9 years ago today this beautiful little bundle of joy came into our lives.

Every single year his birthday feels so surreal. I struggle to believe how old he would’ve been as each year passes. I spend hours wondering what he would be like now and what kind of character he would have. If he would’ve been anything like his little sister, then he would’ve been wild!

I’m always thinking about how things would be different today, if I knew the knowledge I do now back in 2015 when he was born.

You’re forever in our hearts and minds Blayze, happy birthday our little fighter ❤️

It's such a simple message, and one that we really need to spread far and wide. If a pregnant person has a concern about their baby's movements reducing, one of the first things people may tell them is "oh but you're at the end of your pregnancy, baby is so big now, maybe they've run out of room" 😱😱

NO NO NO NO! This is NOT true!

If you or someone is concerned about a baby's usual pattern of movements, tell them to call their maternity unit straight away; they're open evenings and all weekend ☎️

Parents say their children may not have become ill if screening had been available.

This will hopefully bring any parents who experience baby loss, at any gestation, some comfort and a feeling of their baby being acknowledged, as well as their pain and grief they’re going through 💛

Losing a baby can be an unbelievably painful and traumatic experience.

That's why parents who have lost a baby before 24 weeks of pregnancy in England can now apply for an official baby loss certificate.

This is a voluntary service we’re introducing as part of the and to support grieving parents and acknowledge their pain.

Marcus was born healthy and discharged after staying overnight. After nine days, he became poorly, though there were no obvious signs at first. After a big feed around midnight, he had an unusually high-pitched cry, but they managed to settle him back to sleep. Marcus’s condition spiralled downhill very quickly, and within hours, he needed to be transferred to the PICU (Pediatric Intensive Care Unit) at a different hospital for further care.

Mum Catherine says "It wasn’t until then that a doctor on the critical care team asked if Marcus had tested for group B Strep (GBS). Marcus suffered a severe brain injury due to swelling, and despite the tireless efforts to save him, we had to say goodbye as he took his final breaths in our arms. He was diagnosed with GBS sepsis the next day. We are heartbroken that we have lost our little boy and our future with him."

Most newborns that come into contact with the GBS bacteria will not develop GBS infection, but for those who do, it can be life-changing and can devastate families.

Remember you are not alone: we are here to support anyone now and for as long as they need us. Our helpline is open Monday - Friday 9 am - 5 pm and you can call us on 0330 120 0796 or e-mail us on [email protected].

Thank you to Catherine for bravely sharing her story with us 💛💙
