Tell Your Story!How do you serve? Do you know an organization or person you'd like to acknowledge? Email me here.In this issue, we are featuring the March of Dimes Arizona Chapter. Did you know that one in eight babies is born too soon? Some of these babies face lifelong health problems, and others don't survive. Babies born prematurely (before 37 weeks of gestation) often have to spend time in a special area of the hospital called a newborn intensive care unit (NICU), where they are treated for breathing problems, feeding problems and a number of other complications.
Every week in Arizona 1,970 babies are born. Of those 1,970 babies: - 260 are born preterm,
- 37 are born VERY preterm (less than 32 complete weeks)
- 140 are born with low birth weight,
- 23 are born with VERY low birth-weight (less than 3.5 pounds)
- 13 will die before their first birthday
November is Prematurity Awareness Month. During this month, we want to help bring attention to the problem of premature birth. While the cause of nearly half of early births is unknown, we can address some risk factors, such as smoking and getting no or late prenatal care.
How severe is the problem where we live? Recently, Arizona received a "D" from from the March of Dimes third annual Premature Birth Report Cards. In Arizona, 12.9% of babies were born too soon, before their lungs, brains or other organs were fully developed.
There are known strategies that can lower the risk of an early birth, such as smoking cessation, preconception care, early prenatal care, progesterone treatments for women with a history of preterm birth, avoiding multiples from fertility treatments and avoiding unnecessary c-sections and inductions before 39 weeks. The March of Dimes recently released a tool kit to lower the number of medically unnecessary c-sections and inductions done before 39 weeks gestation. It is available from the March of Dimes web site: March of Dimes.
To get involved in prematurity awareness events in our community or to learn more about the premature birth report card score, visit March of Dimes. |
