Premature labor, also known as preterm labor, is a very serious complication of

pregnancy. This is defined as labor that begins prior to 37 weeks gestation. About 12% of
mothers today go into labor before 37 weeks of pregnancy. 25% of preterm births are due to an
induction of labor or a recommended cesarean because of health problems with mother or baby.
It is crucial that mothers in this category exhaust every possible option and confirm the medical
necessity of giving birth at this stage of pregnancy before agreeing to an induction or cesarean
prior to 37 weeks

Unfortunately, many women do not understand the signs of premature labor. Early
detection can help prevent premature birth and possibly enable them to carry their pregnancy to
term or to give their baby a better chance of survival.
