Prematurity Awareness Month®

A healthy pregnancy and baby are a blessing. But some families have their hopes and dreams crushed when their baby arrives too soon, too small, and very sick. 

November is Prematurity Awareness Month®. It’s when the March of Dimes focuses everyone’s attention on the serious problem of premature birth. 

Visit marchofdimes.org to learn about premature birth, the signs of preterm labor and ways it may be prevented. Tell someone you love.
