There is no foolproof method to avoid having a baby early, but there are ways to lessen the likelihood of going into labour early:
1. Do not use smoke, alcohol, or drugs if you are pregnant.
2. Keep your diet well-rounded and healthful.
3. The prenatal care you receive during your pregnancy should be comprehensive.
4. Calm down.
5. The gap between pregnancies should be at least 18 months.
