It&#8217;s been apprehension, it&#8217;s been excitement,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Because she wasn\u2019t doing well \u2014 I wasn\u2019t doing well,&#8221; Clinique added. &#8220;I was emotional, I was sad. I could see her struggling to breathe and she was fighting and fighting and there was nothing I could do about it but watch her fight.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She also spoke of the stress of navigating the NICU, especially as a first-time parent. &#8220;Trying to figure out what\u2019s the medication, what are these procedures, who are you, why is there a different nurse every day, who is the doctor, what time do they come,&#8221; Clinique said.<\/p>\n<p>At one time, survival rates of infants born as young as little Sienna were slim, but now she and others like her have a fighting chance at life, thanks in part to advances in excellent medical care. According to the National Institute of Health, the survival rate of infants born at 24 weeks is now <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC9903864\/#:~:text=Survival%20for%20infants%20born%20at,infants%20at%20periviable%20gestational%20age.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">more than 70%<\/a>. Sienna is one of those survivors and was recently discharged from the NICU to go home with her family.<\/p>\n<p>After Sienna&#8217;s extended NICU stay, Clinique offered hope to other parents in similar situations.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;From parent-to-parent I would tell someone: hang in there,&#8221; she said. &#8220;It may take longer than you expect, but every day is important. Still have hope. Bring positive energy to the room as much as possible. And if you\u2019re having a bad day just compose yourself and get that positive energy because your baby can feel it. They tell you that, but it\u2019s real, let me tell you, our baby is a miracle and it\u2019s real.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/stop-planned-parenthood\/?utm_campaign=sex_ed_petition&amp;utm_medium=LAN&amp;utm_source=website\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-295788\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Stop-PP-From-Sexualizing-Kids970x250-blur-700x180.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Stop-PP-From-Sexualizing-Kids970x250-blur-700x180.jpg 700w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Stop-PP-From-Sexualizing-Kids970x250-blur-300x77.jpg 300w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Stop-PP-From-Sexualizing-Kids970x250-blur-768x198.jpg 768w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Stop-PP-From-Sexualizing-Kids970x250-blur-500x129.jpg 500w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Stop-PP-From-Sexualizing-Kids970x250-blur.jpg 970w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clinique Brundidge Jingles and her husband Brager have had an unexpected journey as new parents, as Clinique went into labor and gave birth when she was just 24 weeks pregnant.
