Prevention

Although the exact cause of preterm birth is often unknown, there are some things
that can be done to help women — especially those who have an increased risk —
to reduce their risk of preterm birth, including:

 Progesterone supplements. Women who have a history of preterm birth, a

short cervix or both factors may be able to reduce the risk of preterm birth with
progesterone supplementation.

 Cervical cerclage. This is a surgical procedure performed during pregnancy

in women with a short cervix, or a history of cervical shortening that resulted in
a preterm birth.

During this procedure, the cervix is stitched closed with strong sutures that may
provide extra support to the uterus. The sutures are removed when it's time to
 deliver the baby. Ask your doctor if you need to avoid vigorous activity during
the remainder of your pregnancy.
