A wee waffle from me about World Prematurity Day, a recap of our journey and a few words for those who may struggle with today.Lots of love,Shan x x Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this week's episode, we feature a specialty requested by a lot of this podcast's listeners. The 17th of November each year marks World Prematurity Day. It's a day to raise awareness of the causes and complications of preterm birth and the concerns of preterm babies and their families worldwide. Approximately 15 million babies are born preterm each year, accounting for about one in 10 of all babies born worldwide. It's a day that's really close to my own heart, as all three of my beautiful children were born premature. My firstborn son was born at 33 and a half weeks, my daughter at 35weeks, and my youngest son born at the the very stroke of 28 weeks gestation. All of them spent some time in the neonatal ICU, or ‘NICU' before coming home: my firstborn spent exactly 50 days in hospital, my daughter was in NICU for just one night before they gave her the all clear, and our youngest spent 142 days in NICU before coming home! I'm disappointed that I wasn't able to get an episode about prematurity out to coincide with World Prematurity Day, but nevertheless I'm really glad to share this episode with you, which is all about the paediatric sub-specialty of neonatology. Dr Robin Saggers is a consultant paediatrician and neonatologist at Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital, who is also currently completing a fellowship in paediatric critical care. Dr Saggers always dreamed of becoming a paediatrician and he shares with us his journey from junior doctor to consultant, and what it is like actually working as a neonatologist.

*Trigger warning - Premature Delivery* This episode is on a topic that is often shied away from when speaking about fertility, because it can be so triggering. However, premature delivery is an important topic that cannot be overlooked when speaking about the fertility spectrum. In honour of World Prematurity Day happening this week on November 17, Emily invited Becca Mintz, her close friend and cousin, onto the show to share her story of needing an emergency c-section at 27 weeks pregnant and the subsequent 78 day‌ NICU stay for her son. They discuss the parallels between the emotions and trauma experienced while going through infertility and premature birth, including the feeling of being blindsided when things do not go as expected. Becca is currently the Vice President of Customer Acquisitions at Capital One Canada and a member of the Council for Women's Advocacy with the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, a group that is passionate about affordable childcare, supporting female entrepreneurs and more. She also sits on the Parents Advisory Council for the St. Michael's Hospital NICU. In 2017, she was named one of Canada's Top 100 Most Powerful Women.

In the US, a baby boy born at 21 weeks and a day, weighing just 420g is the world’s most premature baby to survive, after celebrating his first birthday in July this year. Closer to home, in Singapore, a baby girl weighing just 212g when she was born is believed to be the world’s smallest at birth, and was discharged in August after spending 13 months in the hospital. In conjunction with World Prematurity Day (17th November), senior consultant neonatologist Prof Dr Cheah Fook Choe joins us to discuss how far we’ve come to help the smallest babies defy all odds to survive and thrive.Image credit: Shutterstock

Every November Prematurity Awareness Month is observed, with World Prematurity Day being recognized globally on the 17th.  One common reason for a preterm delivery is when a patient's water breaks before being full term (or 37+ weeks pregnant).  During pregnancy, the baby resides inside a fluid-filled sac, called an amnion which contains amniotic fluid. When someone says their water has broken, they really mean the membranes of the amniotic sac have ruptured. Rupture of membranes (ROM) after 37 weeks usually happens after the onset of labor (or the start of contractions). However, when this rupture occurs before 37 weeks, this is called preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM), and this can cause a world of trouble.  Check out this episode as Dr. Plenty lets you know how term ROM and PPROM are both handled.  Also, learn about how you can reduce your risk of PPROM and preterm delivery with subsequent pregnancies. If you're pregnant or have had a preterm delivery before, make sure to download and listen to this episode.

With today being World Prematurity Day and the month of November being Prematurity Awareness Month & Diabetes Awareness Month, in addition to her music, Mary Sarah & I had so much more to talk about, including her work with Caiden's Hope Foundation! I hope you will share this show as I talk with Mary Sarah about her work as a singer, songwriter, musician and her passion for prematurity awareness, diabetes awareness, organ donation, and her personal connection to these causes.

November is Preemie Awareness month and November 17th is World Prematurity Day. 1 in 10 babies in the US are born too soon, which is before 37-40 weeks. Premature babies fight for their very survival and are at risk for significant short-term and long-term health challenges.The health equity gap in our health care system puts women and babies of color at the greatest risk, with racial and ethnic differences in preterm birth rates. In 2020, the rate of preterm birth among non-Hispanic black women was about 50% higher than the rate of preterm birth among non-Hispanic white women  or Hispanic women with African-American mothers. This campaign aims to build awareness and money in order to address and advocate for: EQUITY, ACCESS AND PREVENTION.BEHIND THESE STATISTICS ARE REAL PEOPLE. In this episode, we hear from a very real mom and her story of premature birth with her daughter who was born at 27 weeks weighing one pound, four ounces and measuring twelve inches long. Light it purple and listen in to share this particular human experience.Visit www.kellybargabos.com to listen to all past episodes and/or connect with Kelly.

#44 - This episode is being published on November 17th which is World Prematurity Day. I share our story going through infertility, trying to find answers, and the trauma of delivering a premature baby. It's not what we imagined having a baby x2 would be, but it's definitely impacted our lives in a profound way.  Share this episode to honor those who have been born preterm. Let's bring some awareness to help reduce preterm births.  Special thanks to the NICU nurses and doctors who took care of Andrew 24/7 to ensure he had the best chance of survival, and to LAPD for rallying together for a blood drive when Andrew needed a blood transfusion. We are so thankful for the abundance of support we received during that tough time. 

In this episode, I discuss about, World Prematurity Day and Psychosomatic Root CAUSESYou can find out SO MUCH more from my book Metaphysical Anatomy Volume 1, which is a step-by-step guide for identifying the psychosomatic pattern related to 679 medical conditions. These conditions can be activated by circumstances in your present life, your ancestry, conception, womb, birth trauma, childhood, or adult life. It builds on existing work from many famous authors, making it much more practical, more specific, detailed, and ultimately much more effective! This book is equally valuable for experienced alternative practitioners and those interested in self-healing.

World Prematurity Day was created on November 17, 2011, to raise awareness for the millions of children every year who are born prematurely. While technologies and medical procedures in America have increased over the years, preterm babies still carry a huge vulnerability to develop cerebral palsy, delays in development, hearing problems, and sight problems.   Additionally, while neonatal death in the United States is low in comparison to most of the world, premature births account for a quarter of all neonatal deaths.   That’s part of the many reasons why World Prematurity Day was created – to shine a light on the risk and hardships created by premature births, cost-effective and proven solutions, and spreading compassion for families who have experienced premature births. I talk with Sarah Marshall of TravelAble Vacations about her experience with a premature infant and how it affected her travels.  I also share my experience as a mother of a preemie.  Find More about World Prematurity Day over at my Blog: https://www.lilyandmagnoliatravel.com/post/world-prematurity-day Sarah Marshall is the founder of TravelAble, a full-service travel, and disability advocacy agency with a mission to make the world accessible for families and individuals with disabilities. In 2009, her journey was redefined by the very premature birth of her son while stationed in the Middle east. This experience, and the subsequent navigation through medical and cognitive diagnoses and challenges, taught her and her family first-hand the trials and tribulations of traveling while caring for their son. From that first adventure, her family never stopped exploring the world. And after many trips where tears turned to smiles, she set out on a mission to give every family, regardless of need, a chance to experience this kind of transformation through custom-designed extraordinary vacations! She is also a sought-after speaker on autism adventure, presenting around the country on her secrets to travel success. In 2020, she will be presenting in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Phoenix at the Abilities Expo, a national disability resource expo. She also gives pro bono presentations to societies, therapy centers, parent universities, and other community gatherings, and has a partnership with the ALS Association of WI, IL, and the Autism Hero Project. She currently holds specialization as a Certified Autism Travel Professional (IBCCES) and Certified Accessible Travel Advocate (SNG). She is also a proud member of the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA) and the Family Travel Association (FTA). She holds numerous certifications in disability-friendly destinations and cruise lines. To learn more and book a complimentary call, visit her website at https://www.travelablevacations.com.

Kate Morrow and Frankie Robertson join Marjy Marj for a conversation about the health of mothers and babies About KateKate Morrow has worked in healthcare non-profit management, marketing and fundraising for over 15 years. After the birth of her twins at 28 weeks gestation, who spent 76 days in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Kate knew more needed to be done to combat many of the challenges she witnessed for mothers of critically ill children. She has combined both her personal experience and professional expertise to be a true advocate for premature births, birth trauma, and high-risk mothers.Today, Kate supports the local and statewide March of Dimes Chapters and is also involved at the national level. In 2019, her family served as the March of Dimes Ambassador family and she was one of hundreds of women chosen to be an inaugural Gretch Carlson Fellow for the national March of Dimes. Her fellowship project was focused on maternal mental health, specifically, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, faced by mothers after critical or lengthy hospital stay for their child. Her most notable moment was having May 1 established as South Carolina Healthy Mother's Day; with a proclamation signed by Governor Henry McMaster in 2019. Kate feels strongly that mothers need to be mentally healthy to take care of the physical needs of their premature and critically ill children. Additionally, Kate is involved in the PRISMA-Midlands Foundation as an advocate and also supports the hospital system through a new role on the NICU Family Advisory Council. She works tirelessly to improve outcomes for families who have gone through medical stays similar to her family's.

"I was ten cm dilated...I was twenty eight weeks!"  This week Carla is joined by Rachael Hickson, in the build-up to World Prematurity Day on November 17th. Having both had premature babies, they get together to share their stories and experiences in the hopes to reassure and offer support to other mothers going through something similar. Here is the episode on our website:https://www.mybump2baby.com/podcasts/fiftyshadesofmotherhood/premature-baby

Il problema della Prematurità è un problema sempre più attuale (1 neonato su 10 è prematuro), ed è trasversale: non ha confini, non ha colore, razza, nazione, status sociale, religione, ruolo, può colpire tutti noi. "The World Prematurity Day", evento internazionale celebrato il 17 Novembre, vuole andare a sensibilizzare sempre più le persone su questo tema, sulla battaglia che ad oggi combattono tanti piccoli guerrieri. "SIAMO TUTTI NATI PREMATURI" sarà infatti lo slogan per la Giornata Mondiale della Prematurità 2020. "In quest'anno così difficile per tutti, abbiamo pensato di portare fuori dai confini dell'isolamento della termoculla e della nostra Terapia Intensiva Neonatale, il soggetto delle nostre cure: il neonato prematuro." Con queste parole il Dott. Cont Gabriele, medico neonatologo presso la Terapia Intensiva Neonatale dell'IRCCS Burlo Garofolo di Trieste, diretta dal Direttore Dott. Francesco Maria Risso, chiede la partecipazione di tutti all'iniziativa pensata in occasione dell'evento del 17 Novembre. In occasione di questo appuntamento verranno stampate oltre 200 magliette viola (colore scelto per indicare la Prematurità), che avranno sul petto i loghi dell'Associazione Scricciolo (www.scriccioloassociazione.org), di VivereOnlus (a livello nazionale) e ECFNI (a livello europeo), nonché quello del Burlo Garofolo, ma cosa ben più importante avrà sulla schiena scritto il nome di un giocatore coraggioso e tenace, con un numero rappresentante le cifra del suo peso neonatale " SERGIO 420 gr ", scricciolo di peso estremamente basso, ma così basso ma da far tanto rumore! A tutti coloro che vorranno partecipare all'iniziativa, richiedendo la maglietta che verrà spedita senza alcun costo, verrà chiesto di indossarla e fotografarsi di schiena, con sotto la "vostra divisa" nel posto di lavoro o in ufficio, per poi postarla sulla personale pagina social o sito aziendale e dar voce agli scriccioli di tutta italia e oltre. Lo scatto nel posto di lavoro, vuole essere un grido di speranza, sta a significare che insieme è possibile colmare quel gap, dovuto all'essere nato prima, per garantire ai piccoli Scriccioli, di tutto il mondo, di poter un giorno giocarsi la chance di essere un cantante in una sala di incisione, un musicista in sala prove, un giocatore di basket di NBA, una maestra d'asilo, una farmacista, un pizzaiolo, un agente di polizia, un imprenditore, un militare di pace, una parrucchiera, un autista di autobus, un alpinista, il presidente della Regione, una fotografa, un dentista, una nonna, un assessore, un lettore di libri per bambini, un pescivendolo, un volontario in una casa famiglia, una tabaccaia, un operaio del porto, uno esploratore, un gelatiere, un calciatore, un chirurgo, un giardiniere, un Ministro dello Stato, un tecnico del suono, un dj, il nuovo sindaco di Trieste, una professoressa all'Università, una dottoressa in TIN, un Direttore di Scuola di Specialità, un Rettore Universitario, un Amministratore Delegato, un campione della nazionale di Basket di Oggi o del Passato, un malgaro, un falegname, un muratore, un meccanico, un artigiano, uno scultore, un infermiere del 118, un membro del soccorso alpino, uno studente, un Direttore Generale, un'ostetrica, un giornalista, un biologo, un pompiere, una commessa, un viticoltore, il primario di una TIN, un ricercatore, uno scrittore, uno chef.. un sognatore, un creativo, un volontario...una mamma, un papà, o di poter essere semplicemente un bambino! Ogni professione è fatta da un essere umano che merita rispetto, ed è la forza della squadra: "Senza l'operato di tutte le figure professionali, il mio apporto sarebbe inutile. - dice il Dott.Cont - Nella speranza che si possa esser squadra sempre più numerosa, con un progetto comune che non lasci nessuno indietro." Ad approfondire l'iniziativa ai nostri microfoni il Dott.Gabriele Cont. Per riascoltare l'intervista:  

The relationship between climate change and health - particularly the dangers of undernutrition -  is canvassed by Associate Professor Yuming Guo from Monash University. Dr. Guo is from Monash's Department of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine and his team of researchers have led a world-first study analysing the link between heat exposure and increased undernourishment illness; Dr Alicia Spittle, a Physiotherapist and Post-Doctoral Researcher from Murdoch Children’s Research Institute, explores the issue of paid parental leave for parents of preterm babies for World Prematurity Day.

Today we are chatting with a couple of incredibly powerful women about a potentially less desired topic.  Our intention is to bring awareness to mamas and families dealing with premature birth. In honor of World Prematurity Day this coming Saturday, November 17th, we are talking about our tiny warriors and their warrior mamas. We are speaking about the miracles that exist to provide hope and to empower the mamas in the trenches of dealing with prematurity, the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) and all of the fears and anxieties that come along with it. We have some incredibly inspiring and well-versed guests who have plenty of experience with this: Charleyne Oulton and Riana Luck.       Charleyne is a confident and happy mom of three children who were all born prematurely. Charleyne has a passion for writing and is a well recognized published author with Golden Brick Road Publishing House and regular contributor for YGTMAMA. She is a popular health and wellness coach with It Works, works in the Royal Canadian Navy as a Reservist and is a Pisces who lives on beautiful Vancouver Island, BC. She is also an upcoming contributor in You've Got This Mama Too and You've Got This, Healthy Mama. Charleyne shares a brief snippet of her story. She has three children that were all born prematurely, within thirty-two months of each other. She had no idea that she was at risk for premature delivery. She was so uneducated around any other possibility of a birth plan other than a full term healthy pregnancy. She claims that it was horrible and terrifying, an event that she still suffers from PTSD (Post-traumatic Stress Disorder) because of. Her first son's birthday brings up mixed emotions, joy is combined with having to relive really scary times. Her second pregnancy had her more prepared with the risks of premature delivery only because of her previous experience. The lead up to her son Jeffrie's birth was terrifying but born at twenty-eight weeks, he was a fighter and her strongest preemie. Less than a year later her daughter Juley Anne was born at twenty-six weeks, at less than 2 lbs. Her pregnancy was the most joyful pregnancy. She knew that she was going to have another preemie, her waters ruptured at twenty-two weeks and she was encouraged to terminate the pregnancy because the baby would not be viable at that time. She chose life and decided to try to try to keep her inside as long as possible. Combined she spent 110 days in the NICU with what she calls her little ‘miracles'. Riana is the mom of five; seven-year-old triplet boys, a four-year-old daughter, and a one-and-a-half-year-old daughter. Four out the five were preemie babies that spent a total of 119 days in the NICU. Riana is also an owner of two businesses, one being a successful cheerleading gym in Red Deer called Premier Academy, and co-owner of three others. She is also an upcoming contributor in You've Got This, Boss Mama. Riana shares that one of the biggest struggles from her NICU time was when she had other children at home depending on her and missing her. With her triplets, although it was hard, it was expected and they knew what they were in for. There were no other children at home who also needed attention, so they could devote all their time to be in the NICU. When her waters burst early with her last pregnancy she walked into the hospital in tears. She knew the long road ahead, and a lot more tears were shed as a coping mechanism. She also praises our outstanding health care system: “It's amazing what they can do for these little babies.” We are here to bring awareness to this difficult topic. Riana starts off by sharing her two different NICU experiences. Her triplet sons were born at thirty-one weeks, five days, which was expected and actually very good for triplets. Even though almost thirty-two weeks is a great milestone for triplets,
