[quote=Anonymous]I love to hear stories about preterm babies that survive and live normal lives. Mine didn't, and most before the age of 25 weeks don't. (Race and gender play a role. Girls fare better than boys. African-Americans do better than Asians do better than Caucasians). All these miracles-baby stories are noteworthy exactly because they are uncommon. And the truth is that both society and the parents do pay an astronomical cost to help as many babies as possible survive. That's as it should be. But I'd like to see more research and resources put into finding the cause and preventing early preterm birth -- because the reason for most of them are simply unknown at this point. [/quote]
