"HEADS UP on Infant Mortality" Campaign

"Heads Up on Infant Mortality" Campaign
September is Infant Mortality month. Did you know that 1,687 babies died before age one in 2007 in the state of Florida alone? The 2009 Campaign for Helathier Babies is drawing attention to infant mortality by knitting one baby hat for every baby who didn't reach their first birthday.
"Too many babies are being born TOO SOON, TOO SMALL, or TOO SICK to survive." - Jennie Joseph, Executive Director
Please join us in our endeavor to promote early prenatal care and save the lives of our children!

How you can help:
knit or crochet one or more baby hats
teach someone how to knit or crochet a baby hat
donate to the campaign
encourage all pregnant women to start prenatal care right away - we can help, no one is turned away
The hats will be displayed at a rally in September (date & time TBA). You can help by knitting or crocheting one or more infant hats and bringing or mailing your hat(s) by September 22, 2009 to:

Be Alert for Signs of Preterm Labor
Contractions of the uterus - that are less than 10 minutes apart (6 or more contractions in an hour), that may be painless or may feel like the baby is "balling up".
Cramps like those with your period - that come and go, or that don’t go away.
Cramps in the abdomen or stomach - with or without diarrhea.
Increase or change in vaginal discharge - watery or with mucus or blood.
Low, dull backache - that comes and goes, or that doesn’t go away.
Pressure - that feels like the baby is pushing down; comes and goes.
