Premature Babies Do Better than Many Doctors Believe Premature births occur in 6% to 10% of all pregnancies, and prematurity is the most common cause of sickness and death among newborn babies. If they survive, these babies are at risk for serious handicaps such as cerebral palsy, mental retardation, and developmental delay. A survey by researchers from the University of Alabama found that obstetricians and pediatricians underestimated premature infants' odds of survival and overestimated their chances of developing a serious handicap.

- Image caption One in 13 babies are born before 36 weeks. Being born prematurely is linked to an increased risk of a range of mental health problems much later in life, according to researchers. Bipolar disorder, depression and psychosis were all more likely, the study in The Archives of General Psychiatry suggested.

Premature Rupture of Membranes (PROM) Preterm PROM predisposes to preterm delivery. PROM at any time increases risk of infection in the woman (chorioamnionitis), neonate (sepsis), or both, as well as risk of abnormal fetal presentation and abruptio placentae. Group B streptococci and Escherichia coli are common causes of infection. Other organisms in the vagina may also cause infection.

Premature newborns face an increased risk of one or more complications. The Most Common Complications of Premature Births. The risk of complications increases the earlier the baby is born. Any complication that a premature newborn experiences will be treated in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Below is a list of the most common complications that a premature newborn may experience: Immature Lungs – Most babies have mature lungs by 36 weeks of gestation. However, since babies develop at different rates, there are exceptions to this.

Effects of Premature Birth Linger Compared with adults who had been born at 37 weeks gestation or later, those who had a premature birth had a much higher risk of a range of medical and social problems. The rate of cerebral palsy was 0.1% for those born at term vs. 9.1% among the earliest preemies born at 23 to 27 weeks.

- Teen mothers' deliveries are more often complicated by obstructed labor or other problems, which may lead to death of the mother and/or child, or to maternal infertility.

What Causes Premature Birth? In spontaneous preterm birth, labor starts early and doctors are not able to stop the labor process. Spontaneous preterm labor causes about 2/3 of all premature births. In spontaneous premature birth, labor can start either with typical labor contractions, or with mom's water breaking. If mom's water breaks before 37 weeks, it's called preterm premature rupture of membranes, or PPROM for short.

premature infant The degree of complications and the rate of survival of premature infants are directly related to the state of physiological and anatomical maturity of the various organ systems at the time of birth, the condition of the infant other than prematurity, and the quality of postnatal care.

- A premature infant is an infant born before 34 wk gestation. Full-term gestation is 40 wk (range 37 to 42 wk). Infants born before 37 wk are preterm and have an increased incidence of complications and mortality roughly proportional to the degree of prematurity.

- Twin pregnancies are at increased risk of intrapartum complications, such as fetal heart rate abnormalities and complications related to malpresentation. This topic will review issues related to the delivery of twins, such as timing and route of delivery, fetal monitoring, maternal analgesia/anesthesia, and management of delivery. Antepartum assessment and neonatal management of these pregnancies, and monoamniotic twin pregnancy, are discussed separately.

Preterm labor and birth (It's also known as premature labor.) If you deliver your baby before 37 weeks, it's called a preterm birth and your baby is considered premature. Going into preterm labor does not mean you'll have a premature baby. Up to half of the women who experience preterm labor eventually deliver at 37 weeks or later. About a quarter of preterm births are planned.
