Preterm labor - cause unknown.
If a preterm birth is anticipated, the room should typically be set at a temperature between 75°F to 80°F (24°C to 27°C). This warmer environment helps to maintain the infant's body temperature, as preterm babies often have difficulty regulating their own heat. It's essential to create a stable and comfortable environment to support the newborn's transition and overall well-being.
Babies born early are commonly referred to as "preterm" or "premature" infants. Specifically, a baby born before 37 weeks of gestation is considered preterm, with varying classifications such as "moderately preterm" (born between 32 and 34 weeks) and "very preterm" (born before 32 weeks). Additionally, extremely preterm infants are those born before 28 weeks of gestation.
Steroids, specifically corticosteroids like betamethasone and dexamethasone, help preterm babies' lungs by accelerating the development of lung tissue and promoting the production of surfactant, a substance that prevents the alveoli (air sacs) from collapsing. This enhances lung function and reduces the risk of respiratory distress syndrome, a common complication in preterm infants. Administering steroids to the mother before delivery can significantly improve the baby's chances of breathing independently and reduce complications related to underdeveloped lungs.
Preterm labor can run in maternal families but it is no garuntee. The health of your mother and your own health can make a vast difference. If you are concerned about having preterm labor, know the signs and watch for them.

Very often preterm labor can be stalled with medication and/or home or bed rest until the baby is more mature to be delivered.
