What are chances of normal delivery after 4 preterm deliveries?
Patient: hi i been looking for an anser for a long time...i have 4 kids and they were all premature and the first one was 27weeks the second was 33weeks the third was 35weeks and the fourth was 35weeks. now im 30 weeks and i want to know the potentials of me delivering early again? Doctor: Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion it appears from your history that there is recurrence of preterm labour.As it is recurrent the cause for preterm labour like short cervix should be ruled out.Actually in case of short cervix a cervical stitch can be applied around 15-22 weeks.Once the cause is treated the preterm delivery can be prevented.So relax.Nothing to worry.Best regards...
