The United States has the highest rate of premature births of any developed nation in the world. But why? QUEST meets some of the Bay Area researchers working to answer that question.
I am a mother of a premature child born 10wks. early and only weighing 2lbs. 6oz. For those of you who may be pregnant or know of someone who is, PLEASE get a at home blood pressure monitor. This machine can be purchased at your local pharmacy store and their are models that do all the work. Cost was about $60. I used one all through my second pregnancy because with my 1st child I developed preclampsia (high blood pressure) and had no signs or symptoms of this. Know your blood pressure!
