Abstract

This handout answers common questions parents have when the mother is in the hospital with preterm labor, or their baby is born early. It includes reasons to continue the pregnancy to full term when possible, where preterm babies are cared for, what kinds of problems are common, how long a preterm baby might be in the hospital, and where the parents can stay during that time.
