What a wonderful thing to do
A Nottinghamshire mum who had two premature babies - one of whom was hospitalised with meningitis - is now supporting neonatal wards across the East Midlands after learning from her own experiences. Sarah Massey, 38, of Balderton, decided to find a way to help those in neonatal wards after she spent a lot of time in hospital with her two children who were born early.
Sarah explained that when she went into labour with Molly she was working as a healthcare assistant at Queen's Medical Centre and was on the nightshift in the trauma ward. She said: "I was literally 27 weeks pregnant and I had nothing." Sarah added: "I put a swaddle in as well. I have my own swaddles that I sell on the website, so for every one of those bought, one goes into a bag as well." She felt it was important for parents to have keepsakes for once they can bring their baby home, but also items to help make their stay in hospital easier.
"I'm so passionate about it and I just want every unit to have them." Currently Sarah provides Ciarán bags to neonatal units at Queen's Medical Centre, Nottingham City Hospital and King's Mill Hospital in Nottinghamshire, but she also sends them to other hospitals across the East Midlands, such as Lincoln, Derby, Hull, Burton and Kettering.
