One of the happiest moments in any parent’s life is when their child is born. As long as the baby is happy and healthy, it is an event that the parents are going to remember with joy for the rest of their lives. For many parents, there are some bumps along the way and that is the case when the child is born prematurely. It can be stressful, but you will see that there may also be a bright side to it as well.
A premature baby is defined as a child that is born before 37 weeks. Although they may be smaller in size and weight, preemies have a better chance of surviving today because of medical advances. In addition, preemies tend to be fighters, and many of them will make it through this battle and go on to live long, happy and healthy lives.
A parent may certainly find it to be stressful when a child is born prematurely but, as you are about to see, there may also be some high points in it as well. That is especially true when a preemie smiles. Enjoy these 13 pictures that will certainly put a smile on your heart.
