November is Prematurity Awareness Month. You can learn more and help the fight to end prematurity at the March of Dimes website. (You can click the image below to go to their prematurity awareness site).
This video will tell you more...
I cry when I see the babies in the video...that mom at the isolette's side holding the baby's hand was me for a week in the hospital. D wore those cords and monitors, he had tubes in his nose & face, he had IV's in his arms, and he had the phototherapy lights on him as well. We were lucky as D had relatively small complications and did well...he was big and strong. Not all parents are as lucky.
We will never know why D came so early (I say he wanted to be here for Halloween), but hopefully we won't go through that again. And with the efforts of the March of Dimes, maybe someday we'll all know how to prevent premature births altogether.
