Helping Out Parents of Early arrivals


Having a premature baby is an emotional journey where days and nights merge into weeks and sometimes months of the unknown. Nobody can prepare you for the overwhelming feelings you may have after having a premature baby.

Our aim is to support families who have had a premature baby while they are in the Neonatal Unit and beyond. We can offer you support through email communication and we also run a support group in Palmerston North on the first Monday of every month. We are mums who have experienced a similar journey having had extremely premature babies ourselves, born at 23 weeks and 24 weeks gestation. We have created this website to help inform, inspire and offer hope to those who have had a premature baby.

If you have any questions or would like to offer your story then please contact us.
