Nearly 500,000 babies are born prematurely in the U.S. each year. Preterm labor and delivery can happen to any pregnant woman, even if she does everything she can to have a healthy pregnancy. The best way to protect your baby is to know the signs of preterm labor and what to do if you have any of them.
