When Julie Marin found out she was pregnant, she worried about how she would afford prenatal care without health insurance.

Through the March of Dimes Mom & Baby Mobile Health Center in southwest Houston, Julie found the compassionate care and support she and her baby needed.

On April 12, 2026, she welcomed a healthy baby boy, Bryson — the first baby cared for by the mobile health center's team to be delivered!

We're grateful to our partners at Memorial Hermann and Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas for helping bring essential care closer to the families who need it most.

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.

Join us today in celebrating the rich culture, history, language, and tradition of Indigenous peoples. We also take a moment to recognize the ongoing challenges Indigenous peoples face in the U.S. such as discrimination, poverty, lack of access to healthcare and prenatal care, and more.

More than 25% of extremely low birthweight babies at Intermountain Health St. Vincent Hospital NICU in Billings, Montana are Native American. In an effort to provide culturally appropriate support, one of the things that the NICU Family Support team does is make moccasins from scratch for, and with, the families.

Together, we can all fight for understanding, respect, and health equity for Indigenous communities.

Olivia had a vision for her birth experience. As a doula, she felt prepared and hoped for a birth with minimal medical intervention.

But when her blood pressure became elevated, her plans changed. Olivia navigated an unexpected induction, relying on trusted providers, support and the information they needed to make the best decisions for their growing family.

Pregnancy doesn't always go according to plan, but understanding the signs, risks and options can help families feel more informed and empowered along the way.

Who is a hero that made all the difference in your family's NICU experience? Carter celebrated his first birthday visiting his family's favorite nurses in the NICU. "We couldn't have gone through this process without them," his mom Jayden says ().

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 Houston 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. 💜
