Premature Baby Birth

Most pregnancies last 40 weeks. A baby born before the 37th week is known as a premature or pre-term baby. Medical advances have meant that more than 9 out of 10 premature babies survive, and most go on to develop normally. Very premature babies are at a higher risk of developmental problems. It is possible for babies born at 23 to 24 weeks to survive, but it is risky. Most babies born before 32 weeks, and those weighing 2.5 kg or less, may need help breathing and may be cared for in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) until they have developed enough to survive on their own. Babies born between 32 and 37 weeks may need care nursery.At Shiva Hospital we have the faclity of nursery and NICU to take care of such cases.

Causes & Management

Some of the reasons babies are born prematurely include:

Twin Pregnancy

Mother has a problem with her uterus or cervix

Medical condition that forces for an early delivery

A history of premature birth

It is best for very premature babies to be born at a hospital that has an NICU. When you are in labour, you may be given medicines to stop the contractions for a while. ou may also receive injections of corticosteroids 12 to 24 hours before the birth to help your baby’s lungs function more efficiently. They will usually be born through the vagina. However, in some cases the doctor may decide it is safest to deliver the baby via caesarean. A very premature baby may develop problems like breathing problems, heart problems, digestive tract issues, anemia and jaundice to name a few. Managing this needs a team of experienced child specialists and well equipped NICU at the hospital.
