Our 28 week identical girls are 13 months old now! Couldnt ask for healthier babies March of Dimes is my pet charity!

I'm just throwing this out there but, all of these unusual medical issues, whether it be this one, or from many others, dont you think that these may be directly related to the CHEMICALS IN THE FOOD THAT WE EAT?!?!?!!! Americans are suffering from more sicknesses and illnesses than what people suffered from 50 years ago! We need to find the root of the problem, not band-aid the causes from them!

[montelrudolph]

this is such a worthy cause!!!!

[xotqeyes]

makes me stress out. and want to cry too hearing this

[archdeaconj]

In 2009, the infant mortality ranking in the United States sadly fell to 33rd place in the world.

I have Turner Syndrome, a rare chromosomal disorder that only effects 1 in every 2,500 live female births. It can be fatal, but mainly not... my sister has Down Syndrome, as well... I like this idea!

One of the causes of infant mortality in Virginia is reckless medical care and the Virginia Board of Medicine closing their eyes and doing nothing. Maybe if we could get rid of some of the corrupt medical boards and governors protecting them, then perhaps doctors could be held accountable, which would lead to better medical care and less preventable deaths of infants. Maybe also our government could devote funds to this important cause rather than STDs in the stimulus package.

she puts such a brave face on when talking about her baby who didn't survive

[debbutch]

We do so much for other countrys and we forget about out own!!!!!!!!

[windekindje]

the usa should give more to the poor children in africa that die from starvation unnecessary

because its injustice that they have nothing to eat and usa eat meat everyday and the children are toofat. share with the poor

that s the answer

thats my opinion

blessings winny

If not for the research of you all, my baby girl would not be here today. Born at 1 lb 5 oz, she was not given a very good chance of survival, but thanks to an injection of surfactant and everything that the doctors did - she's here today - a happy, mostly healthy 1 year old! I am forever grateful for you March of Dimes and I will walk EVERY year for it!

[muzambarian]

thanks for what you do.....

[jizzy009]

God bless M.O.D. :)

[bigdaddyjefe]

Thanks MOD! My 2.5 year old former 33 weeker is doing great thanks to the research and developments from the MOD!

[Whitescars88]

we have 300 million people...you have a lot less

[KConny]

How come USA, "the most advanced coutry in the world", got more than twice as big infant mortality rate as Sweden does?

[DavidHornett]

We could save 25% of the population if the abortion rate was not running at that figure. (And in Australia you can abort to 25 weeks). There seems to be terrible contradiction in our treatment of the unborn: if one is worth saving, then surely all are, or maybe the logic of some is that babies are more like pets, for the benefit of the owners rather than being of a value greater than their parents whim.

[ReverendBec]

Our 29 week fraternal twins are nearly one year old and doing beautifully.

THANK GOD FOR THE WORK OF THE MARCH OF DIMES!

Let's take a look at the mortality rate of children born to women who have never used birth control. Let's take a look at the statistics of women who used vs. never used birth control who need fertility doctors and intervention to become pregnant. Then take a look at the infant mortality rate of the fertility patient babies. Lastly, let's take a look a look at cesarean section rates and the correspondence to mortality rate. Natural approaches to pregnancy & delivery are far, far more successful

[mensamaterial]

does anyone count aborted babies? seems like their mortality rate is fairly grim...1 out of every 1 die. until the unborn are as protected as the rest...we won't get anywhere!

[loraamore]

Do you think the increase in infant mortality has anything to do with artificial insemination and older women getting pregnant?

[tolegut]

How young do they mean when she said that they can hopefully save "younger and younger babies" in future through their research?

[pballa910]

i hope you guys are also putting money to end abortion, because it is the LEADING cause of infant mortality.

[zero252627]

Hey guys Jesus loves you and died for your sins

[sharonda1029]

My little girl was a permature but u wouldnt be able to tell by looking at her today Thanks MOD

[katiewhodge]

My daughter was born at 25 weeks (15 weeks early) last year. I am greatful to the MOD for all their research.

[boringvids]

The age of puberty for girls plummets. The rate of prematurity rockets. Anyone with a Ph.D see the connection?

[bkvweb]

It happens far too often. Keep up the good work, MOD. We're all counting on you.

[EricsGirl4200]

Keep Up The Awesome Work !!!
