<div><span>Babies born with a low birth weight are more likely than babies of normal weight to require specialized medical care, and often must stay in the intensive care unit. Low birth weight is often associated with premature birth. While there have been many medical advances enabling premature infants to survive, there is still risk of infant death or long-term disability. The most important things an expectant mother can do to prevent prematurity and low birth weight are to take prenatal vitamins, stop smoking, stop drinking alcohol and using drugs, and most importantly, get prenatal care.</span></div>

<div><span>Babies born with a very low birth weight are more likely than babies of normal weight to require specialized medical care and often must stay in intensive care nurseries. Low birth weight is often associated with premature birth. Babies born at very low birth weight are at the highest risk of dying in their first year. While there have been many medical advances enabling very low birth weight and premature infants to survive, there is still risk of infant death or long-term disability. To prevent prematurity and low birth weight, expectant mothers should take prenatal vitamins, stop smoking, stop drinking alcohol and using drugs, and most importantly, get prenatal care.</span></div>

<div><span><span>Babies born to mothers who do not receive prenatal care are three times more likely to have a low birth weight and five times more likely to die than those born to mothers who do get care. Early prenatal care (i.e. care in the first trimester of a pregnancy) allows women and their health care providers to identify and, when possible, treat or correct health problems and health-compromising behaviors that can be particularly damaging during the initial stages of fetal development. Increasing the number of women who receive prenatal care, and who do so early in their pregnancies, can improve birth outcomes and lower health care costs by reducing the likelihood of complications during pregnancy and childbirth.</span></span></div>
