Bloggers Unite TODAY to fight for premature babies

Here is an excerpt of my blog: The most popular attraction at the Coney Island Freak Show, next to the midgets, bearded ladies, and other assorted poor souls that we as a society could not find in our hearts to accept in those days, were the incubators.

Up until 34 weeks and 2 days, I had a picture perfect twin pregnancy. I had appropriate weight gain, mild symptoms, no high blood pressure, no swelling, no gestational diabetes. My babies were growing and developing well inside me. All was good in the wor

Prematurity

http://rodrigueztwins.blogspot.com/2009/11/prematurity.html

It was so much simpler to tell strangers at the grocery store that the girls were a month old, rather than, "They're three months old, but they were born two months early, and please don't look at me like that because I've never done a drug in my life and

  • Fight For Preemies

    http://www.marchofdimes.com/fi…

    Every year, 20 million babies are born too soon, too small and very sick ― half a million of them in the United States. November 17 is when we fight.

    Do you know a baby that was born too soon, too small, unable to suck, unable to breathe on his own? Premature birth is a health crisis that jeopardizes the lives and health of nearly half-million babies each year. It is the #1 killer of newborns and can lead to lifelong disabilities. Worse: the number has increased 31 percent since 1981. It can happen without warning and for no known reason. Until we have more answers, anyone’s baby, could be born too soon. Medical advances give even the tiniest babies a chance of survival, yet for many babies premature birth is still a life or death condition. It’s the #1 cause of death during the first month of life. And babies who survive face serious health challenges and risk lifelong disabilities. The rate of premature birth has never been higher. In half the cases, we simply don’t understand what went wrong. We need to fight for answers. And, ultimately, preventions. November 17 is dedicated to raising awareness of the crisis of premature birth. The March of Dimes invites bloggers like you to get involved. • Learn about premature birth at marchofdimes.com/fightforpreemies • Put a badge on your blog during November, Prematurity Awareness Month® • On November 17, blog for a baby you love and to help others We need to fight ― because babies shouldn’t have to. ............................................................................. El 17 de noviembre estará dedicado a crear conciencia sobre la crisis del nacimiento prematuro. March of Dimes le extiende una invitación a los blogueros como usted para que participen. -Aprenda acerca del nacimiento prematuro en nacersano.org o marchofdimes.com/fightforpreemies -Añada un botón en su blog durante el mes de noviembre, Mes del Nacimiento Prematuro -El 17 de noviembre, dedique una entrada en su blog a un bebé que usted ama y para ayudar a otros Necesitamos luchar por todos los bebés.
