🥰 Rian say hi 🥰

"I just wanted to pop on to say a little thank you to you all for the work that you do. My little boy Rían-Scott Gray was born on the 23/10/2024 and had a stay in the NICU for 3 weeks after some breathing troubles. The care and love that you showed our beautiful boy was amazing and you truly do God's work. Rían is now 1 and is now toddling about and exploring the world. He is the happiest little soul and he would not be here with us today without the care that he received while in your care so thank you for doing the work that you guys do.❤️"

That wee smile would brighten any room
Thank you for the update .

Ruaridh was born on the 20th of November 2025 as an emergency C-section. He weighed 7 pounds exactly and had a head full of hair 😂. As I have type 1 diabetes, Ruaridh’s blood sugars were kept dropping for the first couple of days after he was born, but all the lovely nurses took excellent care of him and also helped me and my partner, reassuring us while learning all the new things we needed to know as first-time parents ❤️

Ruaridh is now coming up to 11 weeks and he is doing amazing, so I would just like to thank all the NHS staff who looked after our beautiful baby boy and made our experience so special. We are forever grateful for the amazing experience we had for the birth of our beautiful boy. So thank you ❤️xx

Thank you so much to Ruaridh’s mummy, for the lovely update! X

Well done to all involved, amazing!

A mum has told how she lifted her baby from her womb during a caesarean section in a remarkable procedure thought to be the first of its kind in Scotland.

NHS Lanarkshire staff arranged for university lecturer Dr Leila El Alti to give birth to daughter Aurora by “maternal-assisted c-section”.

Leila praised staff at University Hospital Wishaw in North Lanarkshire for agreeing to take on the challenge of the novel procedure, which saw her scrubbing her hands and forearms along with the doctors, nurses and midwives, and wearing a surgical gown and gloves to prevent infection as she helped to birth 7lbs 9oz Aurora.
