About 3%–6% of infants worldwide are born with a serious birth defect every year. CDC and partners work globally to reduce stigma, increase opportunities for prevention and care, and raise awareness about the impact of birth defects worldwide.

There are some risks that can increase your change of giving birth to a baby with a birth defect:
* Diabetes
* Obesity
* Age of a birthing parent (over 35 years)
* A genetic condition runs in your biological family history (genetic predisposition)
* Substance-use disorder
* Taking certain medications

Today is the start of Black Maternal Health Week! The week is intentionally held during National Minority Health Month and begins on April 11th annually to join dozens of global organizations in marking this day as International Day for Maternal Health and Rights – an opportunity to advocate for the elimination of maternal mortality globally. The activities and conversations hosted throughout the week intentionally center the values and traditions of the reproductive and birth justice movements. ​
