    Preterm Labour

    When labour occurs between 20-37 weeks gestation it is classified as preterm labour. Preterm birth is the leading cause of infant mortality and morbidity. It is important to decrease risk factors if possible and present to the hospital early so that appropriate treatment can be started.
