The Story Behind My Topic

On August the 29, 1995 a beautiful baby girl was born to the Scott family. She was named Promise in honor of the challenge of getting her here. Her parents believed that she has been promised and sent with a special calling upon her life. This little girl was born three months earlier than the set date, due to preeclampsia. Promise weighted merely one pound and eight ounces, left to fight and fend on her own. Only through the prayers of her love ones, was she able to survive. Promise made it through the tough times, within 3 months she reach 2 pounds,then 4 pounds, and before you knew it she was a whaping 5 pounds. Even though she was getting healthier there was something still wrong. Her lungs were not fully developed and she could not breathe on her own. I am that that little girl, and I always wonder was there away that my situation could have been prevented. That was the story behind my topic and my question now is what can causes premature babies the most: stress, drugs, or alcohol?
