Meet Alexiea.

With support from Healthier Moms and Babies, Alexiea gained confidence as a first-time mom. The Nurse Home Visiting Program educated her, and her doula guided her through labor with reassurance and pain management. Surrounded by her doula, husband, and doctor, she achieved a natural water birth and transitioned smoothly into motherhood, crediting the program for empowering her journey.

Did you know that practicing safe sleep for your baby can also support your mental health?
When your little one sleeps safely:

✅ You worry less about sleep-related risks.
✅ You can rest more during the night.
✅ Stress and anxiety are reduced.
✅ Mood and emotional well-being improve.

Prioritizing safe sleep isn’t just protecting your baby, it’s giving yourself the chance to recharge and care for your mental health too.

November is Prematurity Awareness Month! 💜

Each year in the U.S., 1 in 10 babies is born too soon. Preterm birth (before 37 weeks) can cause serious health challenges—but together, we can raise awareness and support healthier pregnancies.

You can help reduce your risk by:
– Getting regular prenatal care
– Eating healthy foods and staying active
– Avoiding smoking, alcohol, and harmful drugs

At Healthier Moms & Babies, we walk beside at-risk moms, offering education, support, and resources to help every baby have the best start in life. Learn more about Prematurity Awareness Month at marchofdimes.org/prematurity-awareness-month
