Preterm labour happens when regular contractions cause the cervix to open after week 20 and before week 37 of pregnancy. Preterm labour can result in a baby being born before 37 weeks of pregnancy – the earlier the delivery, the greater the health risks for the baby. Many premature babies need special care in a neonatal intensive care unit. They can also have long-term physical and mental health concerns. This book provides clinicians with a comprehensive guide to the management of preterm labour, integrating the latest evidence with the ethical frameworks necessary for informed decision-making. The text begins with a thorough review of the pathophysiology and risk factors associated with preterm labour. The following chapters examine the various intervention options available for its management.
