From the Introduction
Premature birth pulls a family into a world they were not prepared for — the NICU, the monitors, the milestones that arrive out of sequence, and the uncertainty that can stretch for weeks or months. The experience of it is unlike anything that the standard pregnancy books describe, because it lies outside the expected arc entirely.

A note before you read

This book is a collection of personal, first-person testimonials offered as companion reading. It is not medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider regarding any medical condition or decision.

About this volume

Inside this volume

Fifty families write about premature birth: the circumstances that brought it on, the time in the neonatal unit, the particular grief of leaving the hospital without a baby, and the long homecoming when it finally came. They describe the medical decisions they navigated and the emotional reality of waiting for a child who had arrived before they were both ready.

Who it's for

For parents in the NICU now, those who have come through it and are still absorbing what happened, and anyone supporting a family whose baby arrived too soon.
