Most pregnancies proceed without any problem.
But problems can happen unexpectedly. If contractions cause the cervix to open earlier than normal between the 20 th and 37 th week labor may be premature. This may result in the birth of a premature baby. Babies born before the 37 th week may have trouble breathing, eating, and keeping warm. It takes teamwork to have a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby.
