Patient's question:
In 2011, the first one was a bit of bleeding when she was 2 months pregnant, and she gave birth prematurely at 6 months. The second one took medication to prevent miscarriage, and her water broke at 5 months.Doctor's answer:
On the mother's side, the reasons include acute infectious diseases, severe anemia, and internal medicine conditions such as heart, liver, and kidney diseases. Other factors include pregnancy complications, antepartum bleeding, premature rupture of membranes, uterine malformations, and trauma. On the fetal side, the reasons include twins, multiple pregnancies, polyhydramnios, and fetal malformations.Preventing preterm labor primarily involves pregnant women undergoing regular prenatal examinations to detect these conditions early and receive active treatment, thereby eliminating or reducing factors that may lead to preterm labor. Additionally, pregnant women should avoid excessive fatigue, stress, and maintain good prenatal hygiene while preventing infectious diseases. It is also advisable to minimize exposure to radiating substances. If preterm labor symptoms such as lower abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding are observed, medical attention should be sought promptly.
