More premature births

According to pediatricians, besides different pathologies, there are a series of external factors that affect premature births.

“There are many elements that cause premature births. Infections, low economical incomes, a burdening situation of the mother, stress… all of these can cause premature births”, declared Dedin Lushi, a pediatrician.

The risk of premature birth appears before the 37th week. Pregnant mothers should be very careful during this period and should not hesitate to make all necessary checks. The sooner the baby will be born, the fewer the chances of survival. The average survival probabilities in the 27th week are 55-80%, depending on the weight of the child.

Premature children also have long-term health problems. A study that was published in the British daily newspaper “The Telegraph”, says that pregnant women who live 200 meters far from main roads are 50% more likely to have premature babies. This conclusion was also achieved by Japanese doctors, who say that air pollution is one of most common causes of premature births.
