Does preterm labor have an impact on children?

Patient's question:

I have been pregnant for 18 weeks, but there are signs of miscarriage. The doctor told me to take three days of progesterone vaginally. There is no sign of bleeding from the vagina for the time being, and it is now stable. However, I am worried about whether it will affect my child in the future. What aspects should I pay attention to in the future?

Doctor's answer:

Now I am 18 weeks pregnant and experiencing threatened miscarriage. Currently, there are no signs of bleeding from the vagina, indicating that the problem is not severe. Generally, threatened miscarriage mainly poses a risk of miscarriage but will not affect the fetus's growth and development. At this stage, the pregnancy has been successfully saved, so it is also necessary to pay attention to rest, avoid overexertion, and prevent a recurrence of threatened miscarriage. Most pregnant women with threatened miscarriage are strictly advised to avoid sexual intercourse to prevent stimulation from intercourse, which could increase the risk of miscarriage.
