Review of The Preemie Primer
Last night I finished reading The Preemie Primer, by Jennifer Gunter, MD. Truthfully, it’s the first book about preemie babies that I’ve read cover to cover.

Were you prepared?
So, I’m reading The Preemie Primer, by Jennifer Gunter, MD, and the book starts out with some general information about prematurity, descriptions of the causes of prematurity, and many statistics about rates of survival and other things.
