In the NICU, Dr. Vivek Narendran sees firsthand what happens when parents are part of their baby’s care: “It improves parental health, baby health, and babies’ outcomes.” As we celebrate 25 years of NICU Family Support®, we’re proud to help families build confidence as caregivers and prepare for the transition home.

Since 2001, we've reached more than 1.25 million NICU families across the country, helping them feel informed, supported, and less alone during some of their most difficult days. This year, we're celebrating 25 years of NICU Family Support® by honoring the families, healthcare providers, and partners who have made this work possible.

Together, we're building a future where every NICU family gets the support they need, today and for generations to come. 💜

At 24 weeks and six days, Jenn and Ryan DeVoll welcomed their daughter, Olive, weighing just 1 pound, 10 ounces. What they thought would be a quick trip to the emergency room became the beginning of a nearly four-month neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) journey.

Through the uncertainty, setbacks and small victories, the DeVoll family found support in their NICU care team, fellow NICU parents and their March of Dimes NICU Family Support® Program Coordinator, Olivia, who helped them navigate some of the hardest days of their lives.

After 120 days in the NICU, Olive came home on Christmas Eve — the best Christmas gift her family could have imagined. Today, she’s a thriving little girl, and her family is giving back by helping other NICU families feel less alone.

This Prematurity Awareness Month, we’re sharing the DeVolls’ story and recognizing 25 years of March of Dimes NICU Family Support, helping families navigate the challenges of a NICU journey.

“There’s going to be a lot of bumps in the NICU journey, but just know that you’re one day closer to having your baby home with you. Your baby is where they need to be — in the best hands possible.” Jenn shared.

Taking a low dose of aspirin (81mgs of aspirin) might lower the chances of preeclampsia and the potential harm it can cause to both mom and baby. Because of this benefit, healthcare providers and medical groups recommend pregnant women at risk for preeclampsia to take low dose aspirin during pregnancy. Before taking low dose aspirin, talk to your doctor about whether it's right for you.

💬 Comment "reduce risk" and we'll DM you our preeclampsia warning signs list.

🏕️ Welcome to Camp NICU! 💜

Through NICU Family Support®, our Program Coordinators help NICU families build knowledge, confidence and connection throughout their hospital journey. And sometimes, that looks like a month-long summer camp!

From tie-dyed shirts and campfire lanterns to dream catchers and graduation caps, each activity was paired with lessons to help parents feel more prepared to care for their babies. Families learned about kangaroo care, safe sleep, self-care and preparing for discharge, all while making memories together.

The friendly cabin competition even inspired families to log more than 200 hours of skin-to-skin time!

Through programs like NICU Family Support, we help ensure families have the education, resources and support they need throughout their NICU journey and transition home.

Being honest doesn’t have to be scary. Let’s be real!

Social Media Manager, Jen, takes to The Collective in Los Angeles to ask moms what moms deserve. A big thank you to our sponsor The Honest Company!

The Collective is March of Dimes’ It Starts With Mom signature event. It opened this month in New York City, for its sophomore event and expanded to the West Coast, premiering in Los Angeles last week. The Collective is more than an event, it’s a platform. It creates a space for women to use their voices and pull the maternal and infant health crisis into conversations that drive change. By convening thought leaders, brands, and advocates, The Collective empowers participants to call for systemic change.

A little care can make a life-changing difference.

When Julie Marin discovered she was pregnant, she worried about how she would afford the prenatal care she and her baby needed. Without health insurance and facing limited options, she found hope through the March of Dimes Mom & Baby Mobile Health Center in southwest Houston.

There, Julie received compassionate, quality prenatal care throughout her pregnancy. On April 12, she welcomed a healthy baby boy, Bryson — the first baby cared for by the mobile health center's team to be delivered!

Julie’s story shows why access to maternal health care matters and the incredible impact of meeting families where they are.

We are so grateful to our partners at Memorial Hermann and Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association for helping make this possible for moms and babies in the Houston community. 💜

Each year in the U.S., 1 in 10 babies is born too soon.

Behind every statistic is a story: a mom who went into labor too early, a baby fighting for their first breath, and a family holding on to hope in the NICU.

Prematurity affects too many moms and babies, and deep disparities in our healthcare system and communities continue to shape outcomes for families. Every baby deserves the best possible start, but we still have work to do to make that a reality.

This Prematurity Awareness Month, we’re shining a light on the facts, sharing stories of strength, and calling for change. On November 15, World Prematurity Day, we’ll continue raising awareness about the urgent need to improve outcomes for moms and babies. Later this month, our 2026 March of Dimes Report Card will highlight the data and action needed to build a healthier future for every family.

Together, we can help end preventable preterm birth. Donate to support lifesaving research and community programs that help moms and babies thrive at marchofdimes.org/donate-now. 💜

Matthew’s memory is part of the Puebla family’s story.

Preeclampsia is a serious health problem for pregnant people around the world. In the U.S., it affects about 1 in every 25 pregnancies. While most people who have preeclampsia have healthy babies, this condition can cause serious problems. People who have preeclampsia are more likely to deliver their baby too early (before 37 weeks of pregnancy).

If you’re at high risk for preeclampsia, your provider recommends low dose aspirin. Talk to your doctor about your risk and whether low dose aspirin is right for you.

When Erica was pregnant, doctors told her that her daughter, Nia, had a rare, lethal form of dwarfism and recommended she terminate the pregnancy. But Erica and her husband, Antoine disagreed and chose hope. After Nia was born, they learned she had been misdiagnosed. Nia spent 118 days in the NICU, underwent successful open-heart surgery, and is now thriving.

At a young age, Nia had experienced both Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) and flu, but because Erica stayed on top of vaccinations and treatment, her symptoms weren't as severe as they might have been had she not been informed about preventive measures.

Did you know that most babies get Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) before their second birthday? While most healthy infants experience mild, cold-like symptoms, some are at risk of severe RSV. This includes babies who have health issues or weakened immune systems, are in daycare, or are exposed to secondhand smoke.

Talk to your baby's healthcare provider in Hawaii about ways to prevent RSV, especially if your baby falls into a high-risk category. Stay informed by learning about preventive measures that can help keep your baby safe and healthy.

Born at just 25 weeks and weighing only 1.8 pounds each, twins Peter and Andrew faced impossible odds from the very start.

The next morning, baby Andrew passed away peacefully in his father’s arms. As Kelly and Billy grieved the loss of their son, Peter began a grueling seven-month battle in the NICU.

Kelly spent countless long, quiet days by Peter’s bedside. In those moments of deep isolation, simple acts of care, compassionate nurses, and vital support from March of Dimes helped carry them through the unimaginable.

Today, Peter is a joyful 4-year-old preschooler who loves music, laughs constantly, and continues to defy the odds every single day. As they honor Andrew’s memory, Kelly and Billy hope other NICU families know they don’t have to face this alone. 💜

“At 24 weeks I thought, ‘there's no way I'm going into labor right now.’”

But Ramsey Wheeler was in labor, and hours later, her son Cameron was born at just 24 weeks and 1 pound, 11 ounces.

Cameron spent 172 days in the NICU, facing heart surgery, oxygen support and feeding challenges. For Ramsey and her partner, Brandon, the experience was overwhelming and isolating.

Through March of Dimes NICU Family Support®, the family found comfort, connection and support when they needed it most.

This NICU Awareness Month, we’re sharing Cameron’s story to shine a light on the realities families face in the NICU — and the importance of making sure no family has to navigate that journey alone.

Today, Cameron is a curious, playful toddler who loves to crawl, climb and flip through books. 💜

For 25 years, NICU Family Support® has been there for families when they need it most. Today, we’re honoring NICU nurse and dad John Glenn, whose own experience inspired him to volunteer with March of Dimes. He facilitates a virtual support group for dads through the NICU Family Support, reminding fathers they don’t have to navigate the NICU journey alone.

Since 2001, we've reached more than 1.25 million NICU families across the country, helping them feel informed, supported, and less alone during some of their most difficult days. This year, we're celebrating 25 years of NICU Family Support® by honoring the families, healthcare providers, and partners who have made this work possible.

In the U.S., it affects about 1 in every 25 pregnancies. While most people who have preeclampsia have healthy babies, if it is not treated, it can cause serious problems such as preterm birth and even death.

You can have preeclampsia and not know it, so go to all of your prenatal care visits, talk to your doctor about your risk, and ask if low dose aspirin is right for you.
