I remember being very worried during my pregnancy that I would give birth to my son too early or that he would be a low birth weight baby. I prayed and prayed this wouldn’t happen as low birth weights open the door to all sorts of medical problems for babies.
I was fortunate enough to have the opposite problem and gave birth to my son who was over 9 pounds! He was as healthy as can be and scored a 9/10 on the Apgar! I know that I am a very lucky momma. Check out to find out how you can help those mommas and babies who aren’t so lucky.
I have a friend that I used to teach with that was born at 25 weeks gestation and was 1.5 pounds. It’s amazing to me that babies can survive such a trauma. But then I think about the sad news reports you hear about the babies who aren’t so lucky. Today I just felt like counting my blessings and praying for those little babies out there.
