Walk with us
By joining March for Babies, you can improve health outcomes for moms and babies in your local community and across the country.There's a maternal and infant health crisis in the US, which remains the most dangerous high-income nation for childbirth, especially for women and babies of color.
● In the US, two babies die every hour, and one woman dies every 12 hours due to pregnancy and childbirth complications.
● The US preterm birth rate remains unacceptable, with 1 in 10 babies born too soon.
● The preterm birth rate is highest for Black and American Indian/Alaska Native babies. Black women are three times more likely to die during childbirth than White women, and Black babies are two times more likely to die before their first birthday than White babies.
● 5.5 million women live in counties with limited or no access to maternity care services, forcing families to find new ways to get the care they need.
