The book "Born before time"

7% of children born in our country are premature, about 40,000 per year. The data provided by the WHO, World Health Organization speak for themselves: preterm births, that is, before the 37th week of gestation, are 13 million a year worldwide. This data excludes partisans and those deriving from assisted fertilization, where the incidence is greater precisely due to the particular conditions in which the mother and child find themselves. Lifestyles certainly play a very important role in preventing premature birth.

But in addition to the medical dimension that engages healthcare personnel in dealing with problems such as respiratory problems, there is an unusual point of view that is gaining ground today in welcoming a premature baby: the spiritual one.

A volume written by the skilful hand of Elena Balsamo has been published for Il Leone Verde, which deals with pregnancy, childbirth, the reception of the newborn and in particular difficult cases, such as premature or traumatic births from an unusual point of view. Is titled Born ahead of time, sacredness of birth and loving welcome to the premature baby and is part of the rich necklace Natural Child.

The aim of the book is to offer a new vision to those who go through the tortuous path of suffering from a preterm birth, and instills great confidence in parents tried by an unexpected and, in a sense, violent birth.

Elena Balsamo, former author of Freedom and love And I am here with you, is a pediatrician specializing in childcare. Mother of three children, Elena has been involved in mothering practices in different cultures for many years and works in particular in support of the mother-child couple in the critical moments of pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding.
