The 2024 March of Dimes Report Card reveals for the third consecutive year, the US earned a D+ grade for preterm birth. In addition to the US preterm birth rate remaining historically high at 10.4%, we continue to see significant disparities among racial and ethnic groups. In 2023, more than 370,000 babies were born preterm (1 in 10) and approximately one third of the largest cities in the US received an F for preterm birth.
The US must prioritize the health of its moms and babies. We can change the tide of the maternal and infant health crisis by taking urgent action today to help ensure a healthy tomorrow for all families. We can all make a profound impact for today and future generations by investing in our communities, advocating for policy change, and raising funds for critical research and programs.

Ashley O’Neil was happily 21 weeks pregnant when she rushed to the ER due to vaginal bleeding. After a frantic ground transfer during a storm to a hospital nearly two hours away, her son was born preterm and tragically passed away shortly after birth. Unfortunately, Ashley's experience is not uncommon. The 2024 March of Dimes Report Card reveals for the third consecutive year, the US earned a D+ grade for preterm birth. In addition to the US preterm birth rate remaining historically high at 10.4%, we continue to see significant disparities among racial and ethnic groups. Two years later, Ashley and Jorge tried for another baby. Despite close monitoring after her previous loss, Ashley went into preterm labor at 24 weeks. She had an emergency Cesarean delivery yet faced another crisis because the small community hospital was unprepared for her baby’s fragile condition. Kolin was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, chronic lung disease, food allergies, seizures, and continues to receive physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. Today, Ashley actively supports March of Dimes for our work to end preventable maternal health risks, end preterm birth and infant death, and close the health equity gap. She inspires others with her strength, determination, and advocacy, and continues to raise awareness and offer hope to families facing similar trials.

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.

This is the 20th anniversary of Prematurity Awareness Month—the global spotlight on the current state of maternal and infant health in the U.S. and around the world, leading to World Prematurity Day on November 17. In 2003, March of Dimes launched Prematurity Awareness Month to bring attention to the alarming rise in preterm birth rates. Initially begun as Prematurity Awareness Day, we realized with all the activities focused on prematurity—from rallies, vigils, and news stories to events, public lightings, and even the release of our Report Card—one day was simply not enough. Prematurity Awareness Month was born, and the day became World Prematurity Day. Throughout these last two decades, we’ve advanced many research, programs, and advocacy initiatives to fight preterm birth.

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.

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.
