What Causes Preterm Birth and Effective Ways to Prevent Early Delivery
What Is Preterm Birth?
Preterm birth, also known as premature delivery, occurs when a baby is born before 37 completed weeks of pregnancy. It is one of the leading causes of neonatal health complications and requires timely medical care.
Common Reasons for Preterm Birth:
Multiple Pregnancies (twins, triplets, etc.)
Chronic Health Conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure
Infections (urinary or reproductive tract)
Poor Lifestyle Choices such as smoking or inadequate nutrition
Previous Preterm Delivery
Stress and Overexertion during pregnancy
How Can Preterm Birth Risks Be Reduced?
With the right prenatal care and medical guidance, many risks of preterm birth can be significantly lowered. Here's how:
1. Adopt a Healthy Lifestyle
Eat a balanced, nutrient-rich diet
Avoid smoking, alcohol, and unsafe medications
2. Regular Prenatal Checkups
Early detection of complications helps manage them before they lead to preterm labor.
3. Manage Chronic Conditions
Work closely with your doctor to control conditions like thyroid disorders, diabetes, or hypertension.
4. Reduce Physical & Mental Stress
Prioritize rest, light physical activity, and emotional well-being.
"Healthy habits and early care can prevent early delivery."
