Did you know that babies born prior to 37 weeks face higher health risks?

Certain factors that can raise your risk of delivering early include:
• Expecting multiples
• Under age 17 or above age 35
• Family history
• Substance use disorder during pregnancy

Help prevent preterm births by eating well during pregnancy, starting prenatal care early, reducing your stress levels and waiting at least 18 months in between pregnancies.
