Birth of a Preemie: The Beginning of the Journey

What do you do now? How will you cope? Who will answer all the questions racing around in a jumbled mess further hampering your already foggy and non functioning mind? And, maybe most importantly, you are probably grappling with the biggest "why" question of all…why did this happen to me…to our family? My experience is not yours nor yours mine…but if you are reading this than you are either trying to come to grip with the total shock of having a preemie baby or you know of someone that is. If you need comfort, information, grounding ….anything to slow down the vortex of a preemie birth then please read on :) What I have to say is rooted in my own experiences; Although I possess a B.A., B.Ed and a diploma in Montessori I am not a medical professional. I write and share because I wish I would have had the support I needed…. No one should feel alone during this time. No one should have to carry the entire weight of trauma. No one should feel the guilt. No one should feel the anxiety of un answered questions. This is a time when family, friends and couples need to come together…
