"Roughly 10 percent of babies in the U.S. are born prematurely, and the majority of them spend some time in the NICU. Almost half of Americans, however, do not have any form of maternity or paternity leave. And the vast majority of those who do simply qualify for FMLA (Family and Medical Leave Act), which guarantees job security for only 12 weeks and does not pay while you are out with your baby..FMLA doesn’t even get us out of the hospital, much less give us any time at home to adjust to a baby who will likely have additional medical needs."
