Online education and print materials
The March of Dimes website provides a wealth of information on pregnancy and baby care. We also educate and support families who have a baby in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). We offer a range of print and audiovisual materials that address preconception, pregnancy, prematurity, bereavement, baby care and genetics. Several of our products are easy-to-read: written at a 5th- to 7th-grade reading level to simplify the most complicated of health topics.
