In the United States today, 1 in 8 babies is born prematurely. More newborns die from premature birth than any other cause. But solutions are within our grasp. Together, we can find the causes of premature birth, ensure moms get health care during pregnancy, and create workplaces that support maternal and infant health.
Act now and let everyone know it's time to do more to help moms have healthy, full-term babies. November is March of Dimes Prematurity Awareness Month. Sign the Petition for Preemies.

Carrie, thanks for sharing this information. I signed the petition. As agonizing as it has been for you, think about those poor women who have no health care benefits! Hope this helps. Love, Mom
Thank you so much for posting about the Petition for Preemies (and your mom for signing!) We have almost 92,000 signatures now and are headed right toward 100,000. How exciting!
