Did you know that car seat testing is done in the hospital before a baby in the NICU is ready to go home? For this test, your provider sits your baby in a #carseat and checks their heart and breathing to make sure they're safe in a seated position.
In honor of National Seat Check Saturday today, we bring back one of our community's most loved videos from @xhildax. Thank you for sharing your NICU journey!

Each year in the U.S., 1 in 10 babies is born preterm and many end up in the NICU—but with your help, we can fund more research to determine the causes and preventions of preterm birth and continue providing support for families like the Greenleys during their NICU stay.

Aleeshia is pregnant in a maternity care desert, these are areas where there’s limited or no access to birthing hospitals, birth centers offering obstetric care, or obstetric providers. With limited options, Aleeshia worries about what will happen when she goes into labor, and has asked her doctor about the possibility of being induced.
Where you live impacts your ability to have a healthy pregnancy and birth. For millions of women in the United States, like Aleeshia, it is more difficult to access #maternity care. Take action by learning about maternity care deserts in your state at marchofdimes.org/mcdr #linkinbio

After Courtney's own experience with the nurses and staff that helped her baby in the NICU, she was inspired to help other families. She became a NICU nurse herself, and is now a March of Dimes NICU Family Support Program® Coordinator.

Thank you @The Latina Doc for raising awareness of the maternity care crisis in the U.S. You too can take action in your state and learn more about #maternitycare deserts at marchofdimes.org/mcdr.
Maternity care deserts are counties where there’s limited or no access to birthing hospitals, birth centers offering obstetric care, or obstetric providers. Areas with low or no access to maternal care affect over 5.6 million women and nearly 350,000 births across the U.S.
Since 2018, March of Dimes has published data on #maternitycaredeserts across the U.S., highlighting areas with inequitable access to maternity care providers and birthing facilities. The data consistently shows that access to maternity care continues to decline, and more resources are needed to make maternal health a priority. #maternalhealth #wellwomancare

In honor of our 85th anniversary, we've released our newest PSA featuring families who have all been impacted by the work we do. From experiences with preterm birth, postpartum conditions, lack of access to care and maternal morbidity, these families amplify March of Dimes' lasting legacy of efforts to help families. We urge you to join us in ending the maternal and infant health crisis. #wearemarchofdimes

#LaborDay is not just a day off, but a time to celebrate the progress we've made working side-by-side with our labor partners to advocate for protections to ensure all pregnant people are protected at work and ensure every mom and baby gets the care and support they need.
For many union members, like Patrick Nuzum, March of Dimes' work is personal. He and his wife lost their baby girl Adeline when Tammy went into labor just after Christmas at 17 weeks and 3 days. Watch their story.

It's true! #Magnesium sulfate can be used during labor and delivery to control your blood pressure, prevent seizures, and slow or stop labor contractions. Even if there might be some less glamorous side effects 😬 it can help with serious complications like #preeclampsia and #pretermlabor . Thanks for sharing your experience @Bri Obaseki !
