Team Cole’s 2025 Year in Review

As we reach the end of another year, it’s a beautiful moment to pause and reflect on the families we’ve met, the stories we’ve shared, and the little lives who have changed us in ways big and small.
This year, our team had the privilege of welcoming almost 300 babies into the world, including twins and triplets who brought double and triple the joy.

Every one of these babies reminded us why we do what we do. Their first breaths, first cries, and first cuddles were moments we were honoured to be part of, and each one added something special to our year.

The care that sits behind the scenes

At the centre of our practice is a team that cares deeply, quietly, and consistently. Whether it’s a reassuring word during an appointment, help easing discomfort in pregnancy, support with feeding and settling, or a warm voice at the end of the phone, our aim is always the same: to make every family feel safe, heard and supported.

This year brought moments of laughter, surprises, long days, early mornings and many little victories. Through it all, the kindness within our team shone brightly.

Welcoming new little lives

We were lucky enough to meet babies from every kind of journey. Some arrived right on time, some a little earlier than expected, and some took their time.
We cared for first-time parents, families growing again, and parents who had travelled long fertility paths to reach this moment.
We welcomed twins who curled naturally around one another, and triplets who filled a room with wonder.

Every story was unique, and every family left a mark on our hearts.

Holding space for our angel babies

Because we care for many high-risk pregnancies, we also walk beside families whose journeys take a different path.
Among the joy and celebration, we also held space for our angel babies — little ones who were deeply loved, wanted and cherished, and who will always be remembered.

To the families who experienced loss this year, your strength and love touched us profoundly. Thank you for allowing us to stand with you. These babies will always be part of our story, and part of yours.

To our families, thank you

To every family who trusted us throughout 2025, thank you.
Thank you for inviting us into some of the most meaningful and vulnerable moments of your lives.
Whether your journey was filled with excitement, uncertainty, celebration or challenge, it was a privilege to care for you.

We hope you felt held, supported and truly seen.

Looking ahead to 2026

As we step into a new year, our hope is simple: to continue offering compassionate, personalised care that honours each family’s story.
We look forward to the babies we will meet, the parents we will support, and the moments of connection that make this work so special.

From our whole team — Dr Stephen Cole, Olivia, Laura, Linsey, Wendy, Eliza and CJ — thank you for being part of our year.
And to every baby and family we cared for, your stories will stay with us always.
