Yes, there is treatment available for most conditions that occur due to premature birth but that doesn't mean that there's no cause for concern. Too many babies pass away due to the complications of their birth, a trip to March of Dimes website will show you that. Women who give birth to premature infants are at increased risk for post partum depression. There's a lot of guilt, worry and stress involved in not just the birth but the NICU journey, please don't at more guilt on top of that by saying that we shouldn't feel depressed. As I'm sure you're aware, even mothers of perfectly healthy babies suffer depression, PPD is not at all related to the health of your child. That last statement is incredibly inaccurate.
