About Pre-Term Labor And Premature Birth

Premature delivery is a scenario in which childbirth occurs before the beginning of 37th week of pregnancy. This early birth, due to incomplete development in the child, might lead to many medical ailments and could be fatal to the baby. There are various causes of premature labor including undue stress during pregnancy, harmful consumption habits like consuming drugs or alcohol, worsened lifestyles, lack of social support, infection to the mother or an accident. Women who have had previous premature delivery, or women who have certain abnormalities or are expecting multiple babies are especially prone to the dangers of early birth. Some key medical conditions that could lead to premature birth include, UTI (urinary tract infections), vaginal infections, bleeding, high blood pressure, birth defects in the child, under or over weight mothers and lack of time between two subsequent pregnancies.

Even though pre-term labor is not very common, do not neglect any potential medical indications. Medicine has progressed drastically and there are ways to deal with premature birth if handled expertly. Therefore tread with caution as you progress towards the next week of the pregnancy wheel.
