Preeclampsia, infections, and teratogen exposure can precipitate preterm labor.
Preeclampsia is a condition that can precipitate preterm labor, especially in first pregnancies, obese women, those with diabetes, or carrying twins. It can lead to complications like low birth weight and premature birth.
Factors like infections, smoking, and teratogen exposure can also disrupt the mother's system, triggering preterm labor by inducing contractions prematurely.
Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) can also lead to preterm labor due to amniotic sac leakage before full term, often resulting in labor starting within 48 hours of the rupture.
