Pregnancy Risk Reduction

Preterm birth is one of the leading causes of infant death in Tarrant County. Preterm birth is when a baby is born before 37 weeks of pregnancy, or more than three weeks early. Babies that are born too early can have health complications, such as brain damage, breathing and vision problems. For babies, delaying a preterm birth by even one or two weeks can make a difference in their survival. 

The goal of Pregnancy Risk Reduction is to provide health & wellness education, and community resources, for people who are at risk of having a preterm birth.
