This month is prematurity awareness month, please help the March of Dimes improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality. Currently they do not know why some babies are born too soon while others make it to their due dates. Currently 1 in 8 babies born in the United States is born prematurely.
This hits close to home with me, I started to have preterm labor with my son at 26 weeks. It was so scary and was in and out of the hospital numerous time. Thankfully with medication, bed rest, and excellent doctors we made it to my due date and I had a healthy full term baby. We were very lucky, many families do not have the same outcome as ours did. Please help support the fight to end prematurity for good.
