Preventing Preterm Birth
Description
When a baby is born at less than 37 weeks gestational age there can be potentially serious short- and long-term consequences for its health and development. Although in most cases the cause is unknown, researchers have identified some risk factors that may make it more likely that a woman will deliver preterm. Fortunately, a number of treatments are available to help women stay pregnant for a full 40 weeks. In this program, women who have delivered preterm and the doctors who treated them discuss ways to help reduce the risk of preterm birth.
