Hi, my name is Carly Molloy, author of this series of three “Preemie Guides”. I’m a PhD doctor who specialized in Child Neuropsychology, I’m also what people like to call an ex-preemie, I personally prefer to keep preemie as you are never not born early! I’ve also had the opportunity to discuss many issues with my mother who received very little support and information following my birth. I find it helpful as someone working in the field and interesting on a more personal level to hear her perspective both in terms of her emotional struggle during and immediately after the birth and also her reflects more retrospectively, since she is a nurse and has great insight to how medical care has changed over the years. I was driven to create these resources because I consistently see and hear from people, especially mothers, that there is very little information for them to easily access. I love my work and feel it is my duty to contribute in a way that in some way makes a little bit of difference. I look forward to hearing from many more families; already many have shared their deeply personal and incredible stories. We are confident that “The Complete Preemie Guide's“ will help people through very significant moments in their lives. For want of a better expression I feel this is what I am meant to do and look forward to helping you every step of the way.
