It's World Prematurity Awareness Day!
Premature births are more common than you may think, as they affect 1 out of every 10 deliveries worldwide. Classified as any birth before 37 weeks of gestation, there are many reasons why a preterm delivery could take place:
◾ Infections
◾ Chronic Health Issues
◾ Multiples (Twins or More)
◾ Cervical Complications
◾ Stress or Lifestyle Factors
While preterm deliveries are complicated and require specialized care, RMC and the amazing team at the Women & Children's Pavilion are here to help!
We are a Level II Birthing Facility, meaning RMC can admit deliveries that happen at 34+ weeks, as we have Neo-Natal Nurse Practitioners available 24/7. In fact, RMC had 140 deliveries just last year that were delivered between 34 & 37 weeks!
