Because Healthy Babies are Worth the Wait!
In Florida, we want every baby to have the best possible start in life. In our country, one in eight babies is born too soon, and babies born late preterm – before 39 weeks gestation – make up a growing proportion. Many late preterm births are the result of scheduled or induced deliveries. More and more births are being scheduled early for non-medical reasons. Ensuring that babies have the chance to fully develop in the womb is the first step to a healthy start. At least 39 weeks of pregnancy gives a baby all the time he needs to grow before he’s born. Explore this website for more tools and resources about why 39 weeks of pregnancy is best for babies.
