When your baby comes too early We've all heard the term 'Premmie" and we've seen the little babies in the special care nurseries with their Naso-gastric tubes, little caps on their heads and surrounded by monitors. It's a frightening image but sometimes it always seems to happen to someone else - until it doesn't.
This podcast is all about defining what prematurity is. It covers: • The known reasons for why a baby comes early. • The signs that your baby might be coming early. • The treatment your baby would need if they’re born early • The current medical thinking about preventing prematurity.
We also talk about what we can all do to support mums of preterm babies.
