Preterm birth, also known as premature birth, is the birth of a baby at less than 37 weeks gestational age. These babies are known as preemies or premmies. Symptoms of preterm labor include uterine contractions which occur more often than every ten minutes or the leaking of fluid from the vagina.
Doctors discuss a premature baby in terms of his corrected age, based on several weeks of gestation rather than the date he was born. For example, if a baby was born at 28 weeks' gestation and is now 4 weeks old, his corrected age is 32 weeks. Developmentally, this baby is still two months premature. He may not reach the same milestones as a full-term baby of the same chronological age for another three months.
