CAUSES OF PRETERM BIRTH

The factor that causes most preterm births or preterm birth threats is unknown. However, some factors may play a role in the development of preterm birth. Some conditions are known to increase the risk of preterm labor. Nevertheless, the mechanisms involved in the onset and development of preterm delivery are not fully known.
Causes of preterm birth:
- Infections: For example, urinary tract infections.
- Placenta abnormalities: Placenta being in the front (placenta previa) or detachment placenta
- Polyhydramnios: The baby's amnion water is excessive
- Twin, triplet and multiple pregnancies
- Cervical insufficiency
- Some congenital abnormalities related to the uterus or cervix
- Having surgery during pregnancy
- Trauma to the abdomen
Apart from these, some reasons increase the risk of preterm birth:
- Having had a premature birth
- Smoking or drinking alcohol
- Maternal age is too young (less than 18)
- Maternal age advanced (more than 35)
- Being too weak
- Anemia (anemia)
- Low socioeconomic level
- Stress
- Cocaine
- Too little time between births
- Pregnancies obtained by assisted reproductive techniques such as IVF (even single pregnancy is risky in terms of preterm birth)
Factors not related to preterm labor:
- The sex of the baby does not affect the risk of preterm birth.
- Having had a cesarean before is not a risk factor for preterm delivery.
- Having a miscarriage does not cause subsequent pregnancies to end with preterm birth.
- Nausea and vomiting during pregnancy do not cause preterm labor.
- Over-consumption or under-consumption of some foods and beverages does not cause preterm labor, there is no nutrient that causes preterm labor.
