Set in the Newborn Center, a 100 bed NICU in Memphis, TN, this video documents, in graphic and poignant detail, the birth of four premature babies and their subsequent treatment and struggle for life. Shocking, compelling, and heartwarming, it paints a vivid picture of the hazards of premature birth.

  • Nurses are described as angels, perhaps God directs humans with the belief in passion and faith and hope and charity to want to achieve amazing milestones that are a benefit to those who are sick, poor and in need of emotional comfort and in need of love always and during the most trying of times and when a good or innocent person passes into heaven. God works in the hearts and minds of good people. Evil is against Gods good purposes and is at work in the people who abuse other humans

  • @iFantasiez Babies are handled so roughly, following birth, to stimulate breathing and circulation. Seems barbaric, but it helps keep them alive. Crying is a beautiful sound in a delivery room, so you try to induce it anyway you can. 

  • Why does he have to die in a glass box?

  • why are they so fucking rough with them? Oh, here, let me drop this 1 pound baby in this bed on his head why dont I.

  • I was very sick as a baby, I threw up every thing I ate. My mom would have to wake up every 2 hours to feed me. God bless my mother. I'm 11 years old and still underweight but I'm happy to be alive.

  • I hope to be a NICU Nurse in about 5 years. I would love to be considered and Angel on Earth. God be with me. <3 and God, Be with these precious, little lives.

  • :( Its so sad to watch things like this. But its good to educate your self about things like this. Im 17 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby.

  • Situado no Centro de recém-nascidos, a 100 leitos UTI neonatal em Memphis, TN, este vídeo documenta, em detalhe gráfico e pungente, o nascimento de quatro bebês prematuros e seu tratamento subsequente e luta pela vida. Chocante, atraentes e comovente, ele pinta um retrato vívido dos riscos de parto prematuro.

  • im crying already

  • @MmRockrXx01 For the future babies that will benefit from whatever progress that is noted and any turnaround in health due to applied medications or treatments that the parents may consent to even thought the prognosis is dire.  Treatment and study of the ailing is how we find the cure, however painfully slow it may be. Truly a hard decision for the parents.

  • how old was the first baby?
