Premature delivery, also known as preterm birth, occurs when a baby is born before 37 completed weeks of pregnancy. Early identification of the signs and risk factors of preterm labour is important for timely medical assessment and treatment.

Premature delivery care may involve evaluating symptoms such as regular contractions, pelvic pressure, lower back pain, vaginal bleeding, or fluid leakage. Depending on the clinical situation, the doctor may recommend examinations, ultrasound assessments, cervical evaluation, or other investigations to determine the risk of early labour.

Management depends on the gestational age, the mother's condition, and the baby's well-being. When medically appropriate, treatment may include medicines to support fetal development, manage specific complications, or help delay delivery for a limited period. If preterm birth appears likely, coordination with a hospital equipped for newborn intensive care may be necessary.

The objective is to provide timely medical attention, reduce preventable complications where possible, and ensure appropriate care for both mother and baby.
