I've been reading up on premature births, and I'm curious about the various risk factors and how they might be managed. For those who have experienced a preterm birth, what were the signs that indicated it might happen early, and what steps did your healthcare provider suggest to mitigate the risks? Also, how effective were those interventions? I'm looking to understand more about both preventative measures and what to expect if things do progress earlier than planned. Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated!
