These family pictures are miracles. I had two healthy pregnancies and babies. I survived an emergency c-section and a planned c-section. I also survived a life threatening infection after the birth of my first son. I knew about warning signs of postpartum morbidities, how to advocate for myself and had a supportive husband and extended family surrounding me at the hospital. I had all of these factors going for me, yet I became to sick to advocate for myself and spent the week after my first child's birth in the hospital. What if my family weren't there? What if they felt helpless when nobody was listening to their concerns and didn't keep pressing? Would I be here? Would Landon only know me from pictures?
This is why I walk. So that all pregnant and birthing people are heard and seen.
March of Dimes is dedicated to bringing people together to tackle America's maternal and infant health crisis—one person, one community, and one step at a time. More than a series of walks, March for Babies is an annual tradition that supports moms and babies every day, every step of the way.
March for Babies connects friends, families, and coworkers to improve the health of families nationwide. Together with March of Dimes, each step forward brings us closer to a healthy future for all.
