Healthy Babies Are Worth the Wait! New from March of Dimes

Another great resource for childbirth educators and doulas: the first educational stop on the pregnancy journey!

The March of Dimes' new campaign, Healthy Babies are Worth the Wait, informs health professionals and the public about the complications and health risks related to inducing a pregnant woman before 39 weeks gestation.

Through this new campaign, the March of Dimes aims to raise awareness among women and medical providers of the importance of having a full-term birth and allowing for natural labor, if possible.
