Each year 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.

We don’t always know what causes prematurity. Even if you do everything right during pregnancy, you can still give birth early. Here some things you can do before and during pregnancy to help reduce your risk for preterm labor and preterm birth:


Schedule a preconception checkup with your healthcare provider to make sure your body is ready for pregnancy. Get to a healthy weight before pregnancy. And get treatment for medical conditions, like high blood pressure, diabetes, depression, and thyroid problems.

Wait at least 18 months between giving birth and getting pregnant again. Use birth control until you’re ready to get pregnant again.

Protect yourself from infections. Get vaccinated, wash your hands often, and don’t eat raw meat, fish, or eggs. Have safe s*x to protect yourself from s*xually transmitted infections.

Eat healthy foods and do something active every day. This can help reduce stress and help you gain the right amount of weight during pregnancy.

Don’t smoke, drink alcohol, or use harmful drugs. Ask your provider about programs that can help you quit. Tell your provider about any medicines you take, with or without a prescription.

Go to all your prenatal care checkups, even if you’re feeling fine. Prenatal care helps your provider make sure you and your baby are healthy.

Learn the signs and symptoms of preterm labor and what to do if you have even one. This won’t reduce your risk of preterm labor, but it can give you time to get treatment that may help stop your labor.

More than 90 percent of type 2 diabetes, 80 percent of CAD (coronary artery sisease), 70 percent of stroke, and 70 percent of colon cancer are potentially preventable by a combination of nonsmoking, avoidance of overweight, moderate physical activity, healthy diet, and moderate alcohol consumption.

Mental health is a state of mental well-being that enables people to cope with the stresses of life, realize their abilities, learn well and work well, and contribute to their community. It is an integral component of health and well-being that underpins our individual and collective abilities to make decisions, build relationships and shape the world we live in. Mental health is a basic human right. And it is crucial to personal, community and socio-economic development.
Mental health is more than the absence of mental disorders. It exists on a complex continuum, which is experienced differently from one person to the next, with varying degrees of difficulty and distress and potentially very different social and clinical outcomes.
Mental health conditions include mental disorders and psychosocial disabilities as well as other mental states associated with significant distress, impairment in functioning, or risk of self-harm. People with mental health conditions are more likely to experience lower levels of mental well-being, but this is not always or necessarily the case.

SICKLE CELL ANEMIA

Sickle cell anemia is one of a group of inherited disorders known as sickle cell disease. It affects the shape of red blood cells, which carry oxygen to all parts of the body.
Red blood cells are usually round and flexible, so they move easily through blood vessels. In sickle cell anemia, some red blood cells are shaped like sickles or crescent moons. These sickle cells also become rigid and sticky, which can slow or block blood flow.

Type 1 Diabetes

Type 1 diabetes is thought to be caused by an immune reaction (the body attacks itself by mistake). Risk factors for type 1 diabetes are not as clear as for prediabetes and type 2 diabetes. Known risk factors include:

Family history: Having a parent, brother, or sister with type 1 diabetes.

Age: You can get type 1 diabetes at any age, but it usually develops in children, teens, or young adults.

Currently, no one knows how to prevent type 1 diabetes.
