November 17th is Awareness day...A day to reach out to everyone and make them aware of how serious prematurity is. I have signed up on Bloggers Unite and will blog that day about awareness and of course about my preemie. Before Ethan, I didn't know much about prematurity and I didn't realize how many premature babies are born every year. 1 in every 8 babies will be premature and the numbers keep climbing! It is a cause that is so near and dear to me now. The goal of the March of Dimes is that one day all babies can be born healthy! I am ready to help with that fight! :)
If you want to learn more about prematurity or to help with the cause please check out the March of Dimes website. They have some interesting facts. Later this month, I will write about Ethan's birth story. I did everything I thought I could do to have a healthy pregnancy and to keep Ethan safe in my tummy but sometimes I guess it is out of our control. When we think about "prematurity" alot of times people think drug addicts or a mother who just didn't care. But lot of those babies out there that are fighting for their life have mothers who did everything "right"...I can go on about how having a preemie has affected me but I will save that for another post. :)
