Prematurity is a worldwide epidemic. Based on reports from the March of Dimes, almost 12.9 million babies are born too soon each year throughout the world. More than half a million babies are born too early in the United States alone. These babies are struggling to survive in one of the hundreds of Neonatal Intensive Care Units that are located throughout the United States.
On August 25, 2009 The New York Times stated that parents of babies that are in the NICU suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder because of the emotional impact of having a premature baby. Usually, this kind of disorder is often associated with “surviving war, car accidents and assault”. These parents will benefit the most from joining the community at PreemieParents.com.
About Tami Gaines
After navigating the most difficult and transformational two years of her life, that included a six-week stay in the hospital; an 18-month journey with her 25-week-young twins in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit; an unexpected divorce after nearly 12 years of marriage; and losing both of her grandmothers within three months, Tami finally agreed to do what doctors, nurses and parents had been asking her to do – share her story of triumph and her process for successfully emerging from her challenges as a more empowered person. In Preemie Parents: 26 Ways To Grow With Your Premature Baby she helps parents learn to cope – as she has – by opening their hearts to learning life’s lessons. With an MBA from Columbia University and 25 years as an entrepreneur and executive, Tami could not have foreseen the events that would take her from the board room to the hospital room. http://www.preemieparents.com
