by Debra Cassell My journey to pregnancy was a long and stressful path. I suffered multiple early miscarriages beginning at age 32.

After finally getting pregnant through IVF, I suddenly experienced HELLP Syndrome and was forced to have an emergency C-section at 26 weeks. He weighed 1 […]

I remember the neonatologist coming into my room, but the rest is a little fuzzy. He gave percentages, talked about feeding tubes, and the NICU.

My husband and I were stunned that we were having twins, but nothing could have prepared us for Thomas and Colin’s early birth at 24 weeks, 6 days. My placenta ruptured and the boys arrived unprepared to come into the world. One had a stage 3 brain bleed on his left side. The other had […]

Simon is one of our Preemie Parent Mentors – specifically our mentor for preemie dads – and here he shares his experiences along with a father’s point of view. When my twins (2 fraternal twin girls, now 19 months and healthy) were born at 29 weeks, I quickly shifted my gaze from the SWAT team […]
