The Dad’s Team is made up of Dads who have all been through the Neonatal journey on Ward 35, and who volunteer their time to support Dads who are currently on the Ward. They’re a friendly bunch, so don’t be afraid to get in touch!

My son Ethan was born at 32 weeks, after my wife Laura suffered with pre-eclampsia, over the festive period of 2020. This was sadly during the COVID pandemic, which made a difficult time even more challenging. Ethan was born by c-section on 30/12/2020, it was scary but exciting.
Laura and Ethan received fantastic care when on the ward. Laura even got a Christmas present. I had my 36th birthday in the January and actually got a card, written as if from Ethan. This made my day as I was sadly home alone for it!
I would like to share my experience of not only SCBU but a COVID pregnancy and birth. Meeting your little one in a mask, isn’t perfect but it’s still magical.
