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.
Data from 2021 & 2022 shows that over 100 hospitals have closed their obstetric units, leaving more than half of U.S. counties without one. Read more about the data in our 2024 Nowhere to Go: Maternity Care Deserts Report and take action: www.marchofdimes.org/mcdr.

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.

Screen early for #preeclampsia risk factors, educate patients about their options, and prescribe low dose aspirin when appropriate. Visit www.marchofdimes.org for more information, including studies on safety, efficacy, patient risk factors, and more. #itstartswithmom
If you’re #pregnant or expecting to be, ask your healthcare professional if you should be taking #lowdoseaspirin to help reduce your risk of #preeclampsia. When prescribed, low dose aspirin can help to keep your baby and yourself safe. Learn more at www.marchofdimes.org
A collaborative approach between healthcare professionals and patients fosters informed decision-making and enhances the likelihood of positive outcomes for both the mother and the baby. You can help patients reduce their risk of #preeclampsia by prescribing low dose aspirin.

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.

Screen early for preeclampsia risk factors, educate patients about their options.
Make universal screening for preeclampsia a regular part of every patient’s initial prenatal care visit. Early preeclampsia risk factor screening is vital: identification of risk factors early in pregnancies and the initiation of prophylactic measures, such as low dose aspirin, can contribute to better outcomes for mothers-to-be and their babies.
It’s important to take the time to educate and counsel patients on the importance of adhering to an low dose aspirin protocol, as many may not understand the risks of preeclampsia and the safety and benefits of taking low dose aspirin. A collaborative approach between healthcare professionals and patients fosters informed decision-making and enhances the likelihood of positive outcomes for both the mother and the baby.

It’s important to take the time to educate and counsel patients on the importance of adhering to an LDA protocol, as many may not understand the risks of preeclampsia and the safety and benefits of taking low dose aspirin. Prescribe Low Dose Aspirin (LDA) to those who screen at high or moderate risk for preeclampsia, and have no contraindications. LDA is a safe prophylactic that can be taken by patients at risk, initiated between 12 weeks and 28 weeks of gestation (optimally before 16 weeks) and continued daily until delivery.

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.

This year’s Report Card dives deeper into key indicators for preterm birth and explores both maternal and infant mortality rates to paint a full picture of the state of maternal and infant health today. Released on the heels of “Where You Live Matters: Maternity Care Deserts and the Crisis of Access and Equity,” the Report Card affirms the U.S. is not doing enough to prioritize maternal and infant health. With a modest 1% improvement in the preterm birth rate, the U.S. maintains a D+ grade for a second consecutive year, with data showing persistent and compounding gaps in health equity that put moms and babies at risk. As we publish this report, it's clear maternal and infant health remains at a crisis level with early data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) showing a 3% increase in infant mortality last year.
A system failing moms and babies is a system failing everyone. Maternal and infant health is fundamental to all health, and it’s on all of us to act now to improve outcomes for familes. Learn more by visiting, marchofdimes.org/reportcard.
The U.S. remains among the most dangerous developed nations to give birth. The stagnant D+ grade in preterm birth and newly-released early data on infant mortality signal troubling trends in the intersection of maternal and infant health. Learn more marchofdimes.org/reportcard.

There is an alarming gap in vaccination coverage in the United States. In particular, health insurance, race and ethnicity, and poverty status are all key factors in vaccination rates among populations. As a stakeholder looking to partner with us to close the gap in vaccination coverage, we are excited to provide you with this great set of tools and resources to help you influence locally and create lasting impact. For more information, visit www.marchofdimes.org/vaccinestoolkit
#Vaccines are a safe and effective way of keeping yourself and your family healthy. They help build immunity, offer protection against serious diseases, and help prevent the spread of disease. It’s always better to prevent a disease than to treat it after it occurs, which is why #vaccines are so important. Here are five tips for navigating vaccinations throughout #pregnancy and #postpartum.
Protect yourself and baby by getting vaccinated. Throughout #pregnancy and #postpartum there are several #vaccines recommended by the @CDC for mom and baby to receive. Talk to your healthcare provider for more information and to figure out a vaccine schedule that works for you and your baby! Check out these five tips for more information about the importance of vaccines during and after pregnancy.
