Welcome to Prematurity Awareness Month and World Prematurity Day!

Prematurity Awareness Month is observed every November, with World Prematurity Day on November 17th, to raise awareness of preterm birth and the concerns of preterm babies and their families worldwide. An estimated 15 million babies around the world are born premature each year and more than one million of them do not survive their early birth.

Today, We Saved You A Seat, visits with Kayla Pitts, mom to Zetta who was born at 26.1 weeks gestation.

Her conversation (broken into 3 parts) highlights maternal mental health in the perinatal and postpartum period, her preterm delivery, breastfeeding, and the treatment options she pursued for her health and family.
