  • Fight for Preemies

    http://marchofdimes.com/fight

    Every year, 20 million babies are born too soon, too small and very sick-half a million of them in the U.S. November 17th is when we fight!

    Do you know a baby who was born too soon, too small, unable to breathe or nurse on their own? With 1 in every 8 babies born prematurely, you probably do. While medical advances give some babies a chance of survival, for many babies premature birth is a life-or-death condition. Babies who survive can face serious health challenges and risk lifelong disabilities. The rate of premature birth has risen more than 30 percent since 1981. In half the cases, we simply don’t understand what went wrong. The March of Dimes is leading the fight for answers. And, ultimately, preventions. November 17 is dedicated to raising awareness of the crisis. Take 3 steps to help fight premature birth: 1. Visit marchofdimes.com/fight. 2. Put a badge on your blog to help spread the word. 3. On November 17, blog for a baby you love and to help others. We need to fight ― because babies shouldn’t have to. ________________________ Luche por los Prematuros Cada año, 20 millones de bebés nacen prematuramente – medio millón de estos nacimientos ocurren en los Estados Unidos. El nacimiento prematuro es la causa principal de la muerte en los recién nacidos. Cada día, March of Dimes lucha por los prematuros. ¡Únase a la lucha el 17 de noviembre! ¿Conoce usted un bebé que ha nacido antes de tiempo, muy pequeño, sin poder respirar o chupar por sí mismo? Con 1 de cada 8 bebés que nace prematuramente, es probable que sí conozca alguno. Mientras que los avances médicos han brindado a algunos bebés la oportunidad de sobrevivir, para muchos bebés prematuros se trata de una condición de vida o muerte. Los bebés que sobreviven pueden sufrir de problemas de salud e incapacidades de por vida. La tasa del nacimiento prematuro ha aumentado más de 30 por ciento desde 1981. Se desconocen las causas en la mitad de los casos. March of Dimes es el líder en la lucha para encontrar las respuestas, y al final, maneras de prevenir el nacimiento prematuro. El 17 de noviembre estará dedicado a crear conciencia sobre la crisis del nacimiento prematuro. Tome 3 pasos para ayudar en la lucha contra el nacimiento prematuro: 1. Visite nacersano.org y aprenda sobre el nacimiento prematuro. 2. Ponga un botón en su blog para ayudar a difundir la palabra. 3. El 17 de noviembre, escriba una entrada en su blog en nombre de un bebé que ama y para ayudar a otras personas. Necesitamos luchar – porque los bebés no debieran hacerlo.
