The number of premature births in the United States has risen
dramatically in recent years, with premature birth now designated
the #1 obstetrics problem in the United States - affecting some 12
percent of all births. In the midst of these births—where a
mother's arms and joy are replaced by incubators and cautious
hope— are the parents, whose strength and emotional stability may
understandably wane in the face of the challenges and fears created
with the birth. It is about and for the benefit of these parents
that this helpful book was written. Psychotherapist Lisa
McDermott-Perez, joined in this work by several medical experts
also offering insights, reveals the world of preemie parents and
the emotional stresses they face before and after the birth. From
feelings of guilt and anger over real and imagined mistakes, to
depression, jealousy and fear, we learn how traumatic this time can
be fbr mothers and fathers. This book takes us step-by-step to
either recover as Preemie Parents or to help loved ones who are
facing the situation. Appendices list resources and support
networks, definitions of terms and equipment commonly used in
neonatal medicine, and common medications and their potential side
effects.
