Premature labor: Premature labor is also called preterm labor when your baby starts getting ready for birth too early in your pregnancy. It starts before 37 weeks of pregnancy. Premature labor can be caused by premature rupture of membranes, high blood pressure during pregnancy (pre-eclampsia), and poor diet. Preterm labor symptoms include leaking fluid or bleeding from the vagina, feeling pressure in the pelvis, and cramps that feel like regular menstrual cramps. Many premature babies need special care and also have long-term mental and physical disabilities.
