Premature birth is the leading cause of death among
newborns in South Carolina. In South Carolina, 149 babies are
born too soon every week. Babies born too small and too soon
struggle to survive the first few weeks and months of life.
Many of
those babies will have health and
developmental problems even
when they’re adults.
With
South Carolinians getting
the
right information about
prevention,
risk factors and
prenatal care, we can
see the
numbers of premature babies
in our state go down.
