Early Preterm Birth (AP173)

Most pregnancies last about 40 weeks. Babies born between 32 and 37 weeks of pregnancy are considered preterm. Babies born before 32 weeks are called "early preterm." The earlier a baby is born, the less likely he or she is to survive. Those who do survive are at increased risk for lifelong health problems. This pamphlet explains:

what to expect if you give birth to an early preterm baby
health problems that affect early preterm babies
treatment options during pregnancy and delivery
making decisions and finding support
caring for a preterm baby.
