You are now ready for your third and final writing task. Expressive Writing task #3: please write here for a minimum of five minutes about your birth/NICU experience. If you become extremely anxious while writing, please stop and return to the homepage or if you can, redirect your writing to a less stressful aspect of your birth experience. Please seek resources noted in the consent form as needed. Writings will be reviewed for signs of distress but not analyzed.

As a final reminder, we ask that you go back to our webpage IN 4 WEEKS and complete these same two surveys for the last time. They can be found under the link labeled One Month Data (Link-6 )on the webpage. Please begin below by FIRST entering your personal ID code and then you may begin to write. (Reminder: your passcode is the first letter of your first name, followed by the month (number) you were born in, the first letter of your middle name (use "X" if none), and then the first letter of the city where you were born. ) An example may be C8TR.
