Today is World Prematurity Day

Prematurity (birth before 37 weeks of pregnancy) affects 1 in 10 babies in the U.S.

While there are some risk factors you cannot control, there are steps you can take - before and during your pregnancy - to help reduce your risk of preterm labor and birth.

Visiting your healthcare provider as soon as you think you are pregnant and going to all your scheduled prenatal care visits throughout your pregnancy can help your provider regularly monitor your health and the health of your baby, and manage chronic conditions that may impact your health.
