In December of 1967, I had been married 3 years and gave birth to my 3rd child. Each one of the 3 was premature and birthweight less. This 3rd baby weighed 3 lb 12,oz and spent 1 month in the hospital before coming home. Meanwhile I had a 2 year old and 1 year old, who wasnt even walking to care for ! I was nearly frantic with the thought of another pregnancy and preemie. The use of new oral contraceptive pills saved me and my family!{jcomments on}
