Thank you, Sarah DiGregorio, for writing this book. The historical context behind the modern day NICU was fascinating. The research on prematurity in current society is presented in a nuanced way. There is not nearly enough written about the NICU experience in general, so to have it written about so clearly and thoughtfully is just really great. I wanted to highlight every sentence.

I work in a Nicu as a child life specialist. I found this book informative & insightful and it will definitely improve my practice. I appreciate all the research that went into making this, and opening my eyes to a lot of things I was unaware of such as: group prenatal care & how racism can lead to prematurity.

Excellent read, informative and thought-provoking. Nice “pop science” as opposed to hrs core science.

I made the decision to stop reading this book because of my closeness to the topic. I was crying every time I read a page, thinking about my daughters. I would like to eventually revisit this title once I am a bit further away from my experience.
