✨ Today, on Amalia’s first birthday, we’re honoured to share Megan and Jordan’s story - an incredible journey through The Royal with their miracle girl, Amalia.

At just 23 weeks gestation, Megan was diagnosed with severe early-onset preeclampsia, a life-threatening condition for both mother and baby.

Against all odds, little Amalia arrived at 25 weeks (25+4 days) and spent 4.5 months in The Royal’s NICU. Today, she’s thriving - a true testament to the strength of her family and the care provided by our incredible NICU team. 💜

In celebration of Amalia’s first birthday, Megan and Jordan are aiming to raise $85,000 to help fund life-saving equipment in The Royal’s Newborn Intensive Care Unit.

Exactly one year ago, on the 5th November 2024, baby Amalia was born at just 25 weeks and 4 days - weighing only 501 grams. For 4.5 months, she was lovingly cared for in our NICU at The Royal.

Today, her parents, Megan and Jordan, celebrate Amalia’s first birthday - a thriving, beautiful little girl who continues to inspire everyone she meets. 💜

“What made our NICU journey special was the people. The nurses, doctors, social workers and allied health team didn’t just care for Amalia - they supported us at every stage when everything felt uncertain. They guided us through the hardest days with kindness and steadiness, and gave us the confidence that she was in the best hands possible.” - Amalia’s parents

In celebration of Amalia’s first birthday this weekend, Megan and Jordan are aiming to raise $85,000 to help fund life saving equipment in The Royal’s Newborn Intensive Care Unit.

We were so thrilled to welcome Keira Rumble, CEO of Krumbled Group, to The Royal Hospital for Women Foundation 💜 Keira joined us to personally hand out our Koala Bags - a special gift every new mum receives here at The Royal.

We’re so excited to share that our Koala Bags now include Keira’s nourishing Hydramama sachets, giving our mums an extra boost of hydration and care to take home.

“Walking around the hospital today has just felt so incredible. There is such a beautiful energy here, and to be able to support these women through all stages of life, especially in their fourth trimester, is so important.” - Keira Rumble, CEO of Krumbled Group

If you’ve just given birth at The Royal, don’t forget to pick up your Koala Bag from the ward, or pop by The Royal Hospital for Women Foundation to collect yours!

We look forward to continuing to support and enhancing the experience for women giving birth at The Royal.

Such an inspiring evening connecting with our community and learning from The Royal’s Menopause Hub experts about the changes that come with menopause and perimenopause.

A huge thank you to our wonderful panel - Dr John Eden, Dr Nadya Chami, Dr Anne-Marie Rees, and Gill Neil - and to our MC, Dr Marjorie O’Neill MP, for guiding such an engaging discussion. 💜

The Royal Hospital for Women Foundation is proud to bring vital health education from The Royal into the community - supporting women wherever they are in their journey. This marks the second Menopause event, created in collaboration with the incredible team at The Women’s Well.

Missed out? Don’t worry - we recorded the whole seminar and will be releasing the live recording next week. Stay tuned!

If you or someone you know is experiencing complex or severe symptoms, The Royal’s Menopause Hub is here to help. Let’s continue breaking the stigma and empowering women through knowledge, support, and open conversations. 💜

Next week, little Amalia celebrates her 1st birthday - a beautiful milestone made possible by the incredible care she received in our NICU.

Instead of gifts, Amalia’s family have chosen to give back in the most meaningful way - by raising funds to support our NICU. 💜

“We aren’t the first family to go through this, nor will we be the last, which is why we want to give something back. We were shocked to discover that nearly all of the specialist equipment in the unit is donated, with each incubator costing up to $85,000... Without this equipment, and the generosity of donors, Mali might not be here with us today.” - Amalia's parents

Their goal? To raise $85,000 - enough to fund a new incubator and help other families just like theirs.

At The Royal, we are constantly inspired by families who choose to celebrate life’s milestones by giving back. If you’d like to create your own birthday fundraiser to support The Royal, we’d love to help you make it happen. 💜

Together, we can continue to ensure our tiniest patients receive the care they need to thrive.

Today on Australasian Sonographers Day, we celebrate all the incredible sonographers at The Royal - across Medical Imaging, Maternal Fetal Medicine, the Breast Centre, and our NICU. Each one is a compassionate expert behind every single scan. 💜

From supporting women through pregnancy, to caring for those living with chronic pelvic pain and endometriosis, to scanning our tiniest patients in the NICU - our sonographers play an essential role in women’s health every single day.

Thanks to the generosity of our community, we’re able to fund new equipment - including state-of-the-art ultrasound machines - that enable our team to continue providing the highest level of care.

Your support helps make this possible. ✨

💜 Volunteer Day with Love to Dream 💜

We were so thrilled to welcome the wonderful team from Love to Dream on their very first Corporate Volunteer Day at The Royal!

The day was filled with smiles and heartwarming moments as the team helped us pack and deliver our beloved Koala Bags to mothers and families across different departments of the hospital - spreading a little extra comfort and care to new parents and their babies, with the addition of their signature Swaddle Up in each bag. 🐨✨

“It was an incredibly rewarding experience for our team to be involved in the impactful work happening at The Royal and to connect with parents and their beautiful newborns. Everyone had a wonderful time and left feeling inspired and grateful.”�- Sarah Yusnanda, People & Culture Coordinator, Love to Dream

After handing out the Koala bags, meeting some fresh new babies and new parents, along with a special private tour of the hospital, each member of the Love to Dream team received their official Certificate of Appreciation, a small token of our gratitude for their generosity and support.

A huge thank you to the Love to Dream team for your warmth, kindness, and ongoing support for women and newborns at The Royal 💜

If your workplace is looking for a meaningful team building experience, or a way to give back this Christmas, consider joining us for a Volunteer Day at The Royal.

We’re still flying high from last week’s beautiful event 💜

Embrace The Journey - the first of its kind at The Royal - was a wellness showcase created for women going through breast cancer, led by our very own Dr Sarah Forsyth and Sorcha Loughnane.

Held on the 17th of October, the day brought together our community of clinicians, patients, and supporters to connect, share, and focus on wellbeing. ✨

We heard from inspiring speakers including Gill Neil (Menopause Hub), Fiona Heath (Fertility and Research Centre), Lea Yanitsas and Alyssa Lacroix (Physiotherapy), and Martine Dines, who shared her powerful story of resilience and mental wellbeing during her breast cancer journey.

We also welcomed Dr Shweta Srinivasa (Hereditary Cancer Clinic), Jessica Collings (Survivorship Clinic, POWH), and Cindy Cunningham from Look Good Feel Better, and closed the day with a calming Ayurvedic wellness session by Supriya Ruparelia 🌿

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who made this special day possible - and to all who continue to support women on their journey.

🌸 It’s World Menopause Day! 🌸

Today, we celebrate one year of The Royal’s Menopause Hub, a leading service supporting women across NSW who are experiencing complex and severe menopausal symptoms. 💜

In the past year alone, almost 950 new women have come through the Hub’s pink doors - in person or via telehealth - to receive specialist, compassionate care.

The Menopause Hub offers four specialised clinics:
✨ Medically Complex Menopause
✨ Menopause After Cancer / Medically Induced Menopause
✨ Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (Menopause under 40)
✨ Hormone and Mood Clinic - Our state's first publicly funded clinic for women experiencing severe psychological menopause symptoms

The Hub supports women across the South Eastern Sydney Local Health District, reaching as far as the NSW/Victoria border.

A huge thank you to the incredible team behind this pioneering service, empowering women to thrive through every stage of life. Happy one year 🎉

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we shine a light on Tiffany Cole - one of the incredible women currently receiving breast cancer treatment through The Royal’s Breast Services. 💜

Tiffany’s story is a powerful reminder of the importance of self-checks and regular screenings for women over 40. Early detection is key, and regular bi-yearly screenings truly save lives.

Each year, The Royal’s Breast Services care for more than 2,500 women, providing world-class care, compassion, and support to women and their families.

You can help ensure this vital care continues - donate to the Breast Services department to make a meaningful difference: https://www.royalwomen.org.au/breast-services
