Compared with full-term infants, premature babies have a higher risk of many diseases such as developmental disabilities, cerebral palsy, visual and hearing impairments. The fewer weeks a baby is born prematurely, the higher the risk.

Extremely premature birth is when a baby is born before 28 weeks of gestation. Although extremely premature babies may survive, they often have serious mental or physical health problems and require special medical care for most of their lives.

Preterm labor is labor that occurs between the 22nd and 37th weeks of pregnancy. Premature babies have a higher mortality and morbidity rate than full-term babies. Therefore, prevention and treatment of preterm labor - threatened preterm labor is an issue that needs attention.

A baby is considered premature if he or she is born between 28 and 37 weeks (from the first day of the last menstrual period). The younger the baby is, the higher the risk of health problems, including temperature problems and digestive disorders.

Premature birth is responsible for nearly half of all newborn deaths worldwide. It is the second leading cause of death in children under five years of age, after pneumonia.

Babies born between 33 and 36 weeks are still classified as premature, however the prognosis for babies born at this time is very good and it is possible to care for them to help them develop healthily.

Fathers' involvement and influence in the health and development of their children has increased in many ways over the past 10 years, especially in the care of preterm infants. The role and impact of fathers on child outcomes is evident at every stage of a child's development.

Premature birth is defined as birth before 37 weeks of age. The earlier a baby is born, the more health risks he or she faces, affecting his or her future development and even death immediately after birth and in the first few years after birth. Depending on the degree of prematurity and the baby's physical condition after birth, the health problems the baby may encounter will vary.

Preterm labor is an unexpected event in pregnancy. Premature babies have more health problems and need to stay in the hospital longer than full-term babies.

Premature birth can have a huge impact on the health of both the mother and the unborn baby. Pregnant women who are threatened with premature birth often have early warning signs. Some subjects have a higher risk of premature birth than the general population.
