March of Dimes
The March of Dimes, one of the leading voices on premature research and prevention in the United States, describes prematurity as a “silent crisis in America” and “the leading killer of America’s newborns.” To address this crisis, the MOD is in the midst of its Prematurity Campaign, a “multi-year, multimillion dollar research, awareness and education campaign to help families have healthier babies.” Please visit the MOD web site www.marchofdimes.com for information on cutting edge research, how to prevent premature births, warning signs and risk factors, the economic and emotional impact of prematurity, and much, much more including these Statistics on Premature Births. |

The Early Birds
In the winter of 2002, Jenny Minton, a member of the Caroline's Room Advisory Board, delivered her sons, Sam and Gus. She was thirty-one weeks pregnant, and her boys, conceived through in vitro fertilization, were more than two months early. Both boys were placed on immediate life support, and for sixty-four days they hovered, critically ill, in the neonatal intensive care unit of a New York City hospital. This is a record of their time there and the story of Minton's harrowing, triumphant quest to bring her sons home. Learn more and purchase here. |
