Here are the heartfelt reflections of some NICU dads, sharing what they wish they had known during their time on a neonatal unit.

Alicia’s Story

Aicia's Grandmother ready to jump out of a plane

Our daughter Alicia was born at Dorset County Hospital at the end of November at only 25 weeks and 4 days gestation. From the moment she was born, Alicia proved to us she was a little fighter.

Malik and Muna’s Story

The doctor told us that our twins had no chance of survival. Viability is 24 weeks gestation and I was only 22 weeks + 2 days.
