November

November is Prematurity Awareness month. In the United States 12% or 1 in 9 babies are born premature. In Israel the number is lower at 9% of births. World wide, premature birth claims 1 life ever 30 seconds. I knew very little about premature birth before Avigayil was born. However, the truth is that prematurity can effect anyone at any time. While there are risk factors that make premature birth more likely, there is no genetic nor any causal link to any predictive factors. Anyone can have a premature baby. Because of this I would like to share some facts and information about premature birth over the coming weeks with you.





I have added 3 new pages. You can check them out on the tabs above. Two pages are things that I have found touching, inspirational, or connected with over the last year and a half. The other page is a round up of some great preemie products.
