Reasons for premature birth: Becoming a mother is the most special thing for every woman. This is the reason why even the smallest things are taken care of during pregnancy. This is such a condition in which the pregnant woman is advised to take care of her lifestyle, diet and routine checkup, so that the baby growing in the womb does not face any problem. A woman’s delivery takes place in 9 months. The gestation cycle is of 40 weeks but sometimes the baby is born before that. Which is called premature birth. Let’s know why this happens?
Why does premature delivery happen?
1. Having more than one child
If there is more than one child in the womb of a woman, then the delivery happens before time or if the pregnant woman or the baby in the womb gets any disease or infection, then premature delivery (premature labor) takes place.
2. Structure of the cervix
According to the doctor, there are chances of premature delivery if there is any problem in the structure of the cervix of the pregnant woman or if she has given birth to a child in the premature stage earlier.
3. Delivery at a young age
The doctor says that if a girl becomes a mother at a young age or her age is more than 35 years, then her child may be born prematurely.
4. Being underweight
Doctors say that if the pregnant woman is underweight or has any problem like BP, heart problems, diabetes, kidney or liver disease during pregnancy, then this can also lead to premature delivery.
5. Smoking-drinking alcohol
Doctors say that if a woman consumes alcohol, cigarettes or drugs, then the possibility of premature delivery increases. At such a time, many things should be taken care of so that there are no problems.
