For the final episode in sMater's special series on preterm births, we take a look at a preterm birth through a mother's eyes. Sophie Ballinger's fourth child, Xanthe, was unexpectedly born at 25 weeks gestation at Mater Mothers' Hospital. Sophie is now sharing her story to help other expectant mums, as well as clinicians, understand what it can be like. To learn more about Mater, visit mater.org.au.
