January is Birth Defects Awareness and Prevention Month, a time to support families facing unexpected fetal health challenges. At the Fetal Health Foundation, we know every family’s journey is unique—full of questions, hope, and sometimes worry—and that compassionate support can make all the difference.
While not all birth defects can be prevented, steps like early prenatal care, managing health conditions, and talking with your doctor about risk reduction can help. Just as important is having access to caring medical teams, trusted resources, and a community that understands what families are going through.
This month, we celebrate resilience, raise awareness, and remind families they are not alone. Every step toward knowledge, prevention, and support helps create healthier beginnings.
