Support the March of Dimes: Shop Partners for Mother’s Day #imbornto #MoDSquad

Sharing is caring!

 The post was brought to you in partnership with the March of Dimes and The Motherhood. All thoughts are my own.

Becoming a mom definitely a pivotal moment in my life. My whole world shifted and I instantly put another person’s needs ahead of my own. I would do anything and everything for this new little person in my life, my love was so fierce. I’ve been blessed to have full-term babies, so I really can’t imagine what it must be like to experience a premature baby or baby loss. But I do have people in my life who have gone through this struggle. That is why I’m so thankful that there are organizations out there like March of Dimes. Their important work and programs improve the lives of babies and families everywhere.  They’ve started the imbornto campaign which encourages strong, healthy pregnancies and celebrates the hopes and dreams that we have for our babies & ourselves.

I’m one of 39 bloggers (representing the length of a full-term pregnancy) joining The Motherhood to share about the importance of the March of Dimes.  Over the next two months we will be sharing information on how you can help support the March of Dimes and the imbornto campaign.

Did you know for more than 75 years, the March of Dimes has been helping families? Nearly 4 million babies were born in the United States last year, and the March of Dimes helped each and every one through research, education, vaccines and breakthroughs.

In the United States:

• 1 baby is born prematurely every minute
• approximately 72 die each day before reaching their first birthday

Worldwide:

• 15 million babies are born too soon each year

How can you help?

• Join me in the #imbornto conversation during Twitter chats on May 7 at 1pm ET and June 10 at 1pm ET, and tell us what you were born to do!
