Answering your questions 💛
Does being born premature affect you later in life?
Being born premature can have a lasting impact on your health and development.
BUT, just because your baby is at an increased risk, does not mean they will definitely encounter health or developmental delays. Parents of preemies find that they must be more cautious and communicate more often with medical professionals, adding another level of stress to being a .
Being born prematurely is a very stressful experience for both the baby and its parents. The health of a premature baby is usually compromised by the stress of being born early, and because they are so small, they have a hard time fighting off infections or other health issues that may arise.

Ask any parent who went through the ‘NICU experience’ and they will tell you about the PTSD they experienced.
The NICU experience may constitute a traumatic event for parents, distinct from other birth-related trauma, leading to significant and ongoing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms.
There is a negative impact on mental health for both parents and children, with long-term consequences for both.
Parents of preterm infants who had been in the NICU reported significantly more symptoms of distress and depression than parents whose children had not been hospitalized in the NICU.
