Each year in the U.S., 1 in 10 babies is born preterm. Preterm birth is birth that happens too soon, before 37 weeks of pregnancy. Babies born too early may face life-threatening complications and have lifelong health problems. In honor of World Prematurity Day, we’re raising awareness of this serious health crisis.
