Answer to Question 1

Baby born before 37 weeks of gestation is considered premature or preterm. Normal gestation lasts 40 weeks.
Associated with low birthweight (less than 5 lbs).
Seven times more likely to die than infants of normal weight.
Nearly 100 times as likely to die from causes such as asphyxia, infections, and SIDS.
The lower the weight, the more poorly the baby will develop cognitively in school.

Answer to Question 2

1) Lie on the floor and rest your calves on a chair or bed at a 90 degree angle.
2) Close your eyes, extend your arms over your head, and take several deep breaths.
3) Place your hands on your abdomen and spend a few minutes focusing on your breathing.
4) Find a comfortable position for your hands - on your abdomen or resting by your sides.
5) Bring your attention to your shoulders and consciously release all tension in your muscles.
6) Bring your attention to your face and consciously release all tension in your face muscles.
7) Return to breathing and redirect your focus to the breath if your mind begins to wander.
8) After about 10 or 15 minutes, slowly begin to return to normal consciousness.
9) Carefully lift your feet off the chair, roll to one side, and lay in the fetal position.
10) After a few moments, carefully bring yourself into a seated position before returning to normal activities.

Answer to Question 3

Pro-life: for life; mostly against abortion with some allowances for rape or incest.
Pro-choice: for women's right to choose.
