This country cannot continue to be the most dangerous developed nation in which to give birth. March of Dimes is working in communities across the country to reduce the rising rates of premature birth, as well as maternal mortality and morbidity. Our organization supports women before, during and after pregnancy to ensure all mothers and infants are healthy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Unspoken Stories aims to build a supportive community for moms and families by breaking the stigma of sharing stories around all forms of pregnancy and parenting,&#8221; said <b><span class=\"xn-person\">Stacey D. Stewart<\/span>, President and CEO of March of Dimes<\/b>. &#8220;We&#8217;re empowering those who are too often silenced or hidden in the shadows. March of Dimes has the partnerships and community-building connections to convene, help and inspire people to share their stories. We know it only takes one story like your own to feel heard and supported.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Honest stories of pregnancy, parenthood and loss are too often left unshared. To fill this void, March of Dimes launched a supportive community of parents, medical professionals, grandparents, would-be parents and friends who want to connect and share with each other one story at a time. From family planning, pregnancy and parenting to the joys, the laughter, the challenges and the heartbreaks\u2014all of these stories help build a community and provide support for so many who have had similar journeys. <\/p>\n<p>Celebrities including <u><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2458047-1&amp;h=2833269852&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fprotect-us.mimecast.com%2Fs%2FxCcGCKrkW1hqQyWuMUrq-%3Fdomain%3Dinstagram.com&amp;a=Rachel+Platten\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span class=\"xn-person\">Rachel Platten<\/span><\/a><\/u>, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2458047-1&amp;h=4166619990&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fp%2FBw4q0TAh0Xx%2F&amp;a=Stephanie+Ruhle\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span class=\"xn-person\">Stephanie Ruhle<\/span><\/a>, <u><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2458047-1&amp;h=1504417195&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2Fmissmayim%2Fstatus%2F1120402762360135681&amp;a=Mayim+Bialik\" rel=\"nofollow\">Mayim Bialik<\/a><\/u>, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2458047-1&amp;h=1893744884&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fp%2FBwkXh79HCNx%2F%3Futm_source%3Dig_web_copy_link&amp;a=Jazmyn+Simon\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span class=\"xn-person\">Jazmyn Simon<\/span><\/a>, <u><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2458047-1&amp;h=3990877197&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fprotect-us.mimecast.com%2Fs%2FHWbYCNknZLCNYq3HRG99w%3Fdomain%3Dinstagram.com&amp;a=Elisabeth+Rohm\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span class=\"xn-person\">Elisabeth Rohm<\/span><\/a><\/u>, <u><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2458047-1&amp;h=474603327&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2FLauraBenanti%2Fstatus%2F1120335038774677504&amp;a=Laura+\" rel=\"nofollow\">Laura <\/a><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2458047-1&amp;h=2681847309&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2FLauraBenanti%2Fstatus%2F1120335038774677504&amp;a=Benanti\" rel=\"nofollow\">Benanti<\/a><\/u>, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2458047-1&amp;h=3940378240&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Funspokenstories.org%2Ftribute%2Fnikkis-story%2F&amp;a=Nikki+DeLoach\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span class=\"xn-person\">Nikki DeLoach<\/span><\/a> and many others have also joined the initiative to stand with women, men and families by highlighting their own experiences in an effort to normalize pregnancy and parenting experiences as well as raise awareness around the urgent health crises moms and babies face in America. <\/p>\n<p><i>&#8220;Sharing <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2458047-1&amp;h=3981633202&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fexplore%2Ftags%2Funspokenstories%2F&amp;a=%23unspokenstories\" rel=\"nofollow\">#unspokenstories<\/a> of motherhood is so important&#8230; especially when Instagram only shows a sliver of real life.
