- To determine the approximate gestational age of a newborn, you’ll assess six neuromuscular and six physical characteristics. This assessment, the New Ballard Score, is appropriate for newborns from 20 to 44 weeks of gestation, with the characteristics to assess varying with the stage of maturity.Each parameter scores from minus 2 to 5, with the cumulative score correlating with a gestational age between 26 and 44 weeks.Timing of the gestational assessment influences the accuracy of its results. For newborns younger than 26 gestational weeks, perform the assessment sooner than 12 hours after birth.For newborns beyond 26 gestational weeks, perform the examination within 96 hours of birth.or newborns younger than 26 gestational weeks, perform the assessment sooner than 12 hours after birth. For newborns beyond 26 gestational weeks, perform the examination within 96 hours of birth.

Premature Labor Premature labor is also called preterm labor. It’s when your body starts getting ready for birth too early in your pregnancy. Labor is premature if it starts more than three weeks before your due date. Premature labor can lead to an early birth. But the good news is that doctors can do a lot to delay an early delivery. The longer your baby gets to grow inside you -- right up to your due date -- the less likely he or she is to have problems after birth. What Increases Your Risk. Lots of different things can increase your risk of premature labor.

Medical Definition of Advanced maternal age Medical Definition of Maternal age. Maternal age: The age of the mother at the time of delivery. Advanced maternal age is usually defined as age 35 or more at delivery. Advanced maternal age predisposes to Down syndrome (trisomy 21). The risk of having a Down syndrome baby rises with maternal age. It essentially doubles from 1 in 725 at maternal age 32 to 1 in 365 at maternal age 35. And the risk continues to climb with the years and is 1 in 32 at maternal age 45.
