Hattie was born 3 months early, at about 22 weeks. There are many significant and serious conditions which can affect premature babies, however, the survival rate is rather amazing.

    Prematurity: The March Of Dimes Foundation

    The March of Dimes foundation was started by Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1938 to defeat polio after he had been diagnosed. I have chosen to write about this organization because I have participated in multiple of the marches that are held in the Lee County region. Many of my family members have worked at Publix which strongly supports the March of Dimes foundation and partakes in all events held in our area. My family and I have attended as many of the marches that we can to support their great cause.…

    SIDS: Sudden Infant Death Syndrome

    Sudden Infant Death Syndrome is an unfortunate event that has been occurring as long as time. The SIDS has plagued parents and doctors and despite much research they still have not been able to discover a cause behind it. Some researchers believe that there are risk factors leading to SIDS that can be prevented, yet they are not found in all cases. Another researcher believed to link inner ear problems to SIDS deaths (Dr. Rubens). Unfortunately a child who died of SIDS is only labeled as so after a thorough investigation of the scene, an autopsy is done and all other possible causes, both physical and medical, have been ruled out, therefore the infant’s death is of an unknown cause (Kidshealth.org).

    Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Research Paper

    Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, known as SIDS can be a serious problem among infants. SIDS is the unexplained, or unknown death usually happening to the baby during sleep. By definition, this type of death does not happen to a baby after its first birthday. Commonly, the babies seem healthy and well when this happens. SIDS is often referred to as crib death because the babies often die inside the crib. A lack of answers is part of what makes sudden infant death syndrome so frightening. SIDS is the leading cause of death among infants 1 month to 1 year old, and claims the lives of about 2,500 each year in the United States. Even after years of research, SIDS still remains unpredictable.…

    Prenatal care

    Proper prenatal care, nutrition and appropriate medical attention are imperative for a healthy pregnancy. However with ever increasing health insurance and medical costs, it is incredibly expensive to stay insured or cover pregnancy-related expenses out of pocket. The costs of delivery are increasing and the expense of insurance doesn't seem much better. There are resources available which may be able to provide free or low-cost prenatal care. In the US, the Health Resources Service Administration can provide you with information on prenatal services in your area by calling 1-800-311-BABY. The American Pregnancy Association also has information on insurance for pregnant women, including government-funded Medicaid. Medicaid often provides coverage for what is not paid by most insurance companies. WIC is another program available that provides federal assistance to women, infants and children. Dietary supplements and referrals to health care services, and advice on breastfeeding are just some of the ways that WIC helps pregnant mothers to be. The local health department in your county may offer free prenatal vitamins and prenatal care to low-income pregnant women. The Food Stamp Program, currently known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program(SNAP), is another federally funded program designed to help single individuals and families with little or no income to buy food. You must meet the income limits to qualify. Local churches are another source you can utilize for help with nutrition for you or your baby.…
