Thank you for writing about the many complex issues surrounding healthy pregnancy and infants. As you may know, the March of Dimes is fighting a battle against prematurity.One out of eight babies in the United States is born too soon, and many of those babies go on to have lifelong health problems.

In many cases, we don' t know what causes prematurity. The March of Dime is supporting research to help us learn more.

Good prenatal care can help. And it's important for women to know what they can do to help reduce the risk; our Web site has information on this http://marchofdimes.com/prematurity/index_women_5811.asp.
