Coping With the NICU Experience:

(Premature Babies - The Silent Crisis)

Having a premature baby in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is very stressful for parents. The uncertainty, the highs and lows, and the decisions all take their toll. This is One of the WORST things a parent - Mom and Dad will EVER have to deal with.

These Articles are from the March of Dimes reprinted here as part of an awareness campaign! I am Now doing my Part - Why? Because I have 2 premature baby girls who are now 8 months old. I have lived the horror of the this nightmare..

I am still living it but it gets better with each passing day. There are thousands of babies being born premature.. to moms who never saw a one and a half pound baby in their life.

To Parents and grandparents who are so terrified that all they do is cry!

I am creating these hub pages to hopefully attract more attention to this growing crisis.

To help another mother or father who is living this nightmare...

To let them all know - They are Not Alone!

Although You Feel like Your Going to to die... You won't!

Although You feel like You can't handle it...You will!
