Family Perspectives on Prematurity
Zero to Three (J), v24 n2 p31-37 Nov 2003
In this article, seven families describe their experiences giving birth to and raising a premature baby. Their perspectives vary, one from another, and shift over time, depending on each family's circumstances and the baby's developmental course. Experiences discussed include premature labor, medical interventions and the NICU, bringing the baby home, later development, and the responses of parents, grandparents, and older siblings.
