Theres so little control.
Will she arrive healthy?

But you have no idea how these things will play out, what happens next.

The uncertainty leaves you with an overwhelming fear of the unknown.

Preterm birth affects so many families, leaving them faced with the very same challenges I found myself confronting.

And even if they do, theyll be doing it with the absolute best knowledge at their disposal.
