Prematurity Awareness Month

Description

November is Prematurity Awareness Month^®, which shines a global spotlight on the current state of maternal and infant health in the US and around the world, leading to World Prematurity Day on November 17. In addition to highlighting how we’re improving the situation, we release our annual March of Dimes Report Card on Thursday, November 17, showcasing the latest national and state level data and providing insight into mom and baby health.

In 2003, March of Dimes launched Prematurity Awareness Month^® to bring attention to the alarming rise in preterm birth rates. Initially called Prematurity Awareness Day, we realized with the activities focused on prematurity—from rallies, vigils, and news stories to events, public lightings, and our Report Card release—one day was not enough. Prematurity Awareness Month was born, and the day became World Prematurity Day. For the last two decades, we’ve advanced research, education, and advocacy to fight preterm birth.

Nowhere to Go: Maternity Care Deserts Across the US

Description

Our latest national report on maternity care access in the United States (US) reveals a stark reality; where you live matters when it comes to the options available for maternity care. While some progress has been made to increase access to care, such as expanding and extending Medicaid, we continue to witness steady reports of obstetric unit closures and workforce shortages. In fact, 1 in every 25 obstetric units in the US shuttered their doors in the last 2 years, resulting in fewer choices, increased stress, and greater travel times for birthing people. The 2024 Nowhere to Go: Maternity Care Deserts in the US report reveals that over 35% of counties are considered maternity care deserts. This means that in 1,104 US counties, there is not a single birthing facility or obstetric clinician. These counties are home to over 2.3 million women of reproductive age and are the resident county of women who gave birth to over 150,000 babies in 2022.

Low Dose Big Benefits

Description

For those at risk of preeclampsia, taking low dose aspirin can provide big benefits, giving babies and moms the healthy starts they deserve.

March of Dimes is dedicated to improving the health and well-being of parents-to-be and their babies. That’s why we’re spreading the word about taking low dose aspirin as a way to reduce the risk of preeclampsia and preterm birth.

The simple step of asking a healthcare professional about taking low dose aspirin—which some refer to as baby aspirin—early in pregnancy can make all the difference.

One in 25 pregnant people experience preeclampsia. And while certain groups are at higher risk, everyone should inquire about their preeclampsia risk factors at their very first doctor’s visit.

We all have a part to play in getting this important message out to the world and making a real, positive impact in the lives of babies, parents-to-be, and communities everywhere.

Give Every Mom and Baby A Healthy Start

Make preeclampsia risk factors screening part of every patient’s first prenatal visit—and prescribe low dose aspirin based on their risk. Early preeclampsia risk factor screening is vital: identification of risk factors early in pregnancies and the initiation of prophylactic measures, such as LDA, can contribute to better outcomes for mothers-to-be and their babies. The USPSTF (United States Preventive Services Task Force) preeclampsia risk factor screening tool is an important resource for assessing patients’ risk during pregnancy. The tool should be embedded into your antepartum or prenatal form processes to ensure that every pregnant person gets screened at their initial prenatal care visit—ideally prior to 12 weeks. Visit MarchofDimes.org for information, studies, and more.

The USPSTF (United States Preventive Services Task Force) preeclampsia risk factor screening tool is an important resource for assessing patients’ risk during pregnancy. The tool should be embedded into your antepartum or prenatal form processes to ensure that every pregnant person gets screened at their initial prenatal care visit—ideally prior to 12 weeks. Visit MarchofDimes.org for information, studies, and more.

Make preeclampsia risk factors screening part of every patient’s first prenatal visit—and prescribe low dose aspirin based on their risk.

Early preeclampsia risk factor screening is vital: identification of risk factors early in pregnancies and the initiation of prophylactic measures, such as LDA, can contribute to better outcomes for mothers-to-be and their babies.

A Safe Way To Keep Mom and Baby Healthy

If you’re pregnant or expecting to be, ask your healthcare professional if you should be taking low dose aspirin to help reduce your risk of preeclampsia. When prescribed, low dose aspirin—sometimes referred to as baby aspirin—can help to keep your baby and yourself safe from the risks of preeclampsia. Preeclampsia puts babies’ health at risk, can cause decreased growth, low birth weight, and early delivery. It puts you at risk for high blood pressure, liver and kidney damage, strokes, seizures, bleeding—and even death, if left untreated. Visit the March of Dimes website for more information about preeclampsia and the safe use of low dose aspirin—when prescribed by a healthcare professional. #lowdosebigbenefits and #itstartswithmom
