This 3-page document presents information about preterm labor from several students in the 4th course, 8th semester at Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University. It defines preterm labor as regular contractions before 37 weeks of pregnancy that result in cervical changes. The main risks of preterm birth are serious health problems in babies that are not fully developed. Treatments discussed include cerclage sutures to stitch the cervix closed, corticosteroids to speed lung maturity, magnesium sulfate to reduce brain damage risk, and tocolytics to temporarily stop contractions.
