Preventing Preterm Birth

Preventing preterm birth remains a challenge because causes may not always be well understood. However, pregnant women can take important steps to help reduce their risk of preterm birth and improve their general health:

Quit smoking. For help quitting, see How to Quit Smoking.
Avoid alcohol and drugs.
Get prenatal care early and throughout pregnancy.
Seek medical attention for any signs or symptoms of preterm labor.
Talk with your doctor if you had a previous preterm birth.
Another step women and their partners can take to reduce the risk is to wait at least 18 months between pregnancies.

Increase awareness about preterm birth, including the prevalence and related complications.

November is Prematurity Awareness Month!
About 1 in 10 babies in the U.S. is born too soon. Every one of those babies, and every family walking beside them, has a story of strength. Some spend weeks or months in the NICU. Some face lifelong health challenges. All of them show us what resilience looks like.
This month, we're standing with preemie families, honoring the babies we've celebrated and the ones we've lost, and thanking the nurses, doctors, and caregivers who support them every day.

10 Easy Things You Can Do to Keep Kids Safe on Halloween

Children are twice as likely to be hit by a car and killed on Halloween than on any other day.

Washington, D.C. – Halloween can be one of the most fun nights of the year for children across America, but for parents, it can be the most nerve-wracking as well. On average, twice as many kids are killed while walking on Halloween than on any other day of the year.

By taking just a few simple precautions, kids, parents and drivers can make the night fun and safe.

Tips for a Happy (and Safe) Halloween

Safe costumes:
Decorate costumes and bags with reflective tape or stickers and, if possible, choose light colored clothing.
Masks can obstruct a child’s vision, so choose non-toxic face paint and make-up whenever possible.

Have children carry glow sticks or flashlights so they can see better, as well as be seen by drivers.
Safe walking:

Stay alert -
Watch out for cars that are turning or backing up and don’t dart out into the street or cross in between parked cars.
Walk on sidewalks or paths. If there are no sidewalks, walk facing traffic as far to the left as possible.

Put electronic devices down and keep heads up and walk, don’t run, across the street.
It’s best to cross the street safely at corners. And always look left, right and left again when crossing and keep looking as you cross.
Safe driving:

Slow down in residential neighborhoods. Remember that popular trick-or-treating hours are 5:30 to 9:30 p.m.
Be especially alert and take extra time to look for kids at intersections, on medians and on curbs. Children are excited on Halloween and may move in unpredictable ways.

Reduce any distractions inside your car, such as talking on the phone or eating, so you can concentrate on the road and your surroundings.

Light Up Halloween

We want Halloween to be scary for all the right reasons. That’s why it’s so important for all our little monsters to wear reflective clothing or carry a flashlight, glow stick, or reflective bag. But don’t take it from us, here’s a group of funky dancing kids who show us it’s fun to be seen on Halloween.
