Preterm Labor

Preterm Labor is a clinical obstetric condition characterized by the onset of regular uterine contractions resulting in progressive cervical change, occurring between 20 and 37 completed weeks of gestation, distinguishing it from term labor by its timing and association with increased risk of preterm birth and adverse perinatal outcomes.
