Preventing premature births is crucial for the health and well-being of both mothers and babies. A recent study has shown that a simple one-minute check during prenatal visits can help identify risk factors and potentially prevent premature births.

During this quick check, healthcare providers assess various factors such as the mother’s overall health, previous pregnancy history, and any existing medical conditions that could increase the risk of preterm labor. By identifying these risk factors early on, healthcare providers can take proactive measures to prevent premature births.

Research has shown that early detection and intervention can significantly reduce the likelihood of preterm labor and its associated complications. By incorporating this extra one-minute check into routine prenatal care, healthcare providers can help ensure a healthier outcome for both mother and baby.
