Did you know that every minute in the United States, a baby is born prematurely? Worldwide, 15 million babies are born too soon each year. Even if babies are born just a few weeks early, they are at risk for developmental delays and medical problems.
These are just a few of the reasons why The Motherhood is honored to be working with the March of Dimes and their imbornto initiative, which supports the organization’s mission of saving babies and helping all moms have healthy, full-term pregnancies.
The Motherhood has assembled a team of fantastic bloggers – 39 mom bloggers (representing the length of a healthy full-term pregnancy) and 12 dad bloggers – to get the word out on the March of Dimes #imbornto program this April, May and June. The team will share the program’s important successes and messages and their own pregnancy stories during a series of Twitter chats, in-home parties and posts on their blogs and across social media.
Thank you to the March of Dimes and the #imbornto campaign for your tremendous work to keep our little ones healthy and safe, before and after birth. With you, we are thrilled to celebrate the wonderful things all babies are born to do.
