For me, a mother of two small boys born too soon, World Prematurity Day is an opportunity to reflect upon and highlight the realities of neonatal intensive care; a chance to shine a light on a hidden world and a journey that lasts long after bringing your baby home from hospital.
Today we will hand in our petition, all 115,230 signatures, and we will say - neonatal intensive care is not maternity leave.
We're looking forward to walking with many of you later this morning l, marching together as we deliver the petition. If you'd like to join too meet us at 11am St Thomas Hospital, Riverside Cafe. We shall be leaving St Thomas Hospital at 11.20 to walk over Westminster Bridge.
Tweet us!! Tweet us today with your #NotMatLeave pictures!!!
