You can help babies like mine, maybe even your babies, have a better chance of survival. Read our story in my blog starting with the post "Introducing Cameron & Evan". But more importantly, please take just a moment to sign this petition to help babies everywhere!
March of Dimes - Petition for Premature Babies
1. We urge the federal government to increase support for prematurity-related research and data collection as recommended by the Institute of Medicine and the Surgeon General’s Conference on the Prevention of Preterm Birth, to:
- (a) identify the causes of premature birth;
- (b) test strategies for prevention;
- (c) improve the care, treatment and outcomes of preterm infants;
- (d) and better define and track the problem of premature birth.
- 2. We urge federal and state policymakers to expand access to health coverage for women of childbearing age and to support smoking cessation programs as part of maternity care.
- 3. We call on hospitals and health care professionals to voluntarily assess c-sections and inductions that occur prior to 39 weeks gestation to ensure consistency with professional guidelines.
- 4. We call on businesses to create workplaces that support maternal and infant health.
