Premature Birth

Premature Birth

Survival outside the womb is possible (although not likely) as early as 22 weeks. Survival dramatically increases with continued gestation after this point. By 28 weeks, more than 90 percent of babies survive and by 34 weeks it's 99 percent.

Delaying birth after the onset of labour is difficult, but usually can be done for a few days. Delaying even for just a day or two can have large impacts on survival by allowing you to be moved to a more advanced hospital and giving time for steroid shots to improve the baby's lung function.

There is no evidence that bed rest will prevent pre-term labour.

I'm going to be pregnant forever, right?

No one has ever been pregnant forever.

The majority of babies arrive within a week on either side of the due date.

Cervical checks are predictive of coming labour (althoug not perfectly); ask about effacement in addition to dilation to get a more complete picture.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Jamyson Haug

Giovanna Scalzone
