đź’ś World Prematurity Day đź’ś
Today, we honor the families facing the toughest start to their journey. On November 17, we pause to recognize that every baby deserves a healthy start, and every mother deserves the support to make it through.
At Mainline Maternity Care, we see the reality behind the numbers, 1 in 10 babies in the U.S. are born prematurely, and the rate here in Maryland is no different. Prematurity isn’t just about medical care, it changes the course of families' lives. It’s about mental health struggles, the trauma of uncertainty, and the exhaustion of trying to keep hope alive.
We believe care doesn’t stop when a baby leaves the NICU. It’s where real support begins. That’s why we focus on more than just the medical side. We offer mental health screenings, NICU education, and community support to ensure no mother faces this journey alone.
