#world prematurity awareness month November# Yes November is considered as world's prematurity awareness month! Premature birth happens when baby is born before completion of 36 weeks of his gestational age due to certain complications in pregnency. In recent times the premature birth has increased and statiscs say 1 out 8 children born world wide are before full term. Prematurity causes both issue of mortality and morbidity in tiny babies. It's reason why babies lose their life or face health complications in their early childhood and if untreated can lead to certain disabilities in future. The above lines briefly describe premature birth in medical terms...but when it comes to emotions of a mother it has a different explanations. Premature birth not only is a medical condition but it completely changes social, physcological ,financial status of a person.the emotional rollercoaster or seeing tiny souls fighting for survival and putting your heart daily with endless efforts to bring a life up is something u cannot express in words. Being a mom of preemie I have gone thru a lot and I can truely understand and connect with any one who is or has gone thru this stage. When your fairy ,goodie pampered pregencey turns into nightmare and a tiny body who was part of you is detached from your womb and is thrown out to fight for 'survival' , is the tuffest thing of world. .preemies are born fighter they give us complete sense of understanding this world is a place where 'survival is there for the fittest'.; From delivery to nicu visits, to pumping breast milk, to doing kmcs , to touch therpy ,to your scary visuals of seeing your baby hooked with wires and machines , going thru a ride where every day is a new challenge and health conditions are unpredictable is beyond imaginations and u can only do it if your parents and specially a mother.;; I have seen many parents in nicu and there struggles of bringing up preemies and lot, as I have keen interest being a preemie mom of knowing what exactly causes premature birth , how can it be prevented , how can families get support financially and emotionally during this stage , how mother can be helped so that she doesn't face physcological issues ,how we can support mother to support his child , how preemies can be calmed during there stays in nicu while tough medical treatments , how we can use several therpies , above all how we can educate parenta who come from remote areas as how to take care of a preemie post nicu discharge so they dont face come back to nicu or health complications of baby again are things that keep going in mg mind .In India specially in small towns,remote areas; like us and even at bigger towns ,there is no awareness on premature birth. M an educated person and till six month of my pregnency I didn't know who is a premature baby, coming across some news when I use to hear that fla..is born in seventh month ...oh I though baby might be too small to handle and didn't give a second thought,unless I have gone thru an entire phase . It's the tuffest when even u can't thing u can handle one..and almightys power which gives mother,parents courage to support their babys for life. I am a very sensitive personal , but I can say now m strong , I don't sweat for small stuff now, don't bother Lil or big things much, I don't find things that difficult as I have gone thru this , may be God wanted me to become more empathetic , more knowledgeable, more human ....and understand every aspect of life, understand every bit of human body and specially value of 'breathing' .., human milk, human touch , soul connection , spirituality is all crux which every premeei mom gets in.. Surely I feel life is a great gift and this tiny souls ,fighter are great gift to mommies .since I have seen my baby I am unable to love anything much and think anything else, I have become more passionate.; My biggest passion in childhood and development;; . Premature birth is a matter of concern and educating people about it is very important, in India we are lacking behind .; I have seen many hospitals where therw ia no practice of giving kmcs which are life savior for preemies , the condition od 200 percenf care is not even 60 percent. Avoiding premature labour and birth are not practised as much it has to ..the care of preemie is unknown to many. This tiny feets can put great remarks when supported well. Elbert einsten,anna pavlova, Thomas Elva edison ( sorry for any typo errors) were premature babys and; have sommuch to world..This month November is celebrated as world's prematurity awareness day and I wish , infact I want ,if I can participate to discuss ,to make people aware of what is actually premature birth and how the outcomes can be handled .. I urge experts ,mommies @Baby Chakra ; to come out and discuss this on this great platform for parents and help and save many riby brave hearts and mothers of preemies .
