Birth Complications
Wonder acknowledged that this was true. He had indeed been put in an incubator at birth, a process that had destroyed his eyesight. Wonder said, “Right – I was premature. My doctor didn’t know what’s known now about the right amount of oxygen, so I was given too much, and an area of my eyes was destroyed.” The baby Stevland Hardaway Judkins had been robbed of his most essential sense due to a doctor’s negligence. What kind of traumatic birth story had Wonder lived through?

Past Traumas
Stevland Hardaway Judkins was born in 1950 in a premature state, having been delivered six weeks before his due date. It was in a Saginaw, Michigan hospital that baby Stevland was rushed to an incubator to keep his fragile body alive. While Stevland’s life might have been saved by this emergency procedure, he had to pay a hefty price in return. Once Stevland reached the age of seven weeks, his eyesight had completely faded. All thanks to a doctor’s poor choices.
