Prematurity Awareness Month
November is Premature Awareness month. Being born early puts children at risk for developing many conditions including cerebral palsy.
When a child is born prematurely often their lungs may not be fully developed. This lack of pulmonary maturity can be very dangerous for the child.
Often, a delivery may have been prevented / delayed or medications should have been administered to help the child develop more rapidly. Failing to adhere to these standards of care may constitute medical malpractice.
