Mary Richards reportingHealth officials hope to raise new awareness about premature babies. The U.S. Surgeon General is teaming up with a former Utah newswoman to talk about it.

Former KSL news anchor Jane Clayson just brought her baby boy home last week. He was born preterm and spent about three months in the hospital.

Jane Clayson: "I thought I was doing everything right, I was doing everything right."

Clayson says doctors say sometimes there's nothing you can do to prevent or cause a premature birth. She and the US Surgeon General will be on the Discovery Health Channel tonight talking about prenatal care, and what to do after a preterm baby is born. They say a half-million babies are born too soon every year.
