The Preemie Primer - A Complete Guide for Parents of Premature Babies--from Birth through the Toddler Years and Beyond (Paperback)

Having a premature baby--a baby born before the thirty-seventh week of pregnancy-- can be a crash course in both medicine and health economics, not just in parenting. Parents face complex information, difficult decisions, and overwhelming grief and worry--with challenges that often extend well beyond those early days and weeks. As an ob/gyn, Dr. Jennifer Gunter has delivered hundreds of premature babies, but as a mother of preemie triplets, she also understands the heartbreak and challenges of prematurity. "The Preemie Primer" is a comprehensive resource, covering topics from delivery, hospitalization, and preemie development to parenting multiples, handling health issues, and finding special-needs programs. Compassionate, engaging, and medically grounded, "The Preemie Primer" is the first book on prematurity to combine the insight of a doctor with the experience of a mom.
