Can premature birth cause mental illness?

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

I should that with a healthy mother with infect placenta during pregnancy, health problems and family history add on to risk of developing an disorder?

premature birth causes a wide spectrum of mental and physical problems for the fetus. some things may be noticed right away and some may take years to detect. we go through life in cycles and stages, so a milestone i should achieve at 3 years old will be noticed before something i should be achieving at 16 years old.

premature birth?

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

a very good friend of mine went into labour at just 22 weeks today. i am worried obviously but i have promised her mum i would find out info on what will happen and i cant find a thing. Here are the questions i need answered, 1, as her waters have broke and she has dialated will she have to give birth like normal? 2, if her twins are born now the chances are slim i know, but if (god forbid) the worst does happen will she have to bury the babys? only she has always said she wouldnt want that. I dont know what the rules are here in the uk i mean do hospitals dispose of bodies still or is this all in the past? i know this is a grim subject but i promised answers and i dont want to let her down. many thanks.

just because she has broken her water and is dialated doesnt mean that she will give birth naturaly, that depends on the baby and if it is destress.

why is premature birth, natural suffering?

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

We are currently studying natural and moral evil and suffering and have been asked to choose 1 choice and i have chosed natural suffering. I am going to do premature birth as i think it is a natural suffering matter. but i have write a bit so far but still need a bit more. can you please, please give any ideas, thoughts thanks :) xx
okay, obvs isnt natural suffering.
does anyone have any ideas I could do for natural suffering and give reasons please why it is thank you soo much :)
I lost my baby when i ws 20 weeks pregnant i had to give birth to her and me and my partner are suffering very badly. We miss our daughter so much, when she died i died too. It is natural suffering to both baby and parents. Baby because these things happen no one knows why, my baby had a reason to be born early because she was very ill inside me. Why don’t you use that as an idea? Babies with illnesses in the womb? Which can cause so many painful complications and even death.

My sister is 7 months pregnant lost her plug and is dilated 1 cm. What are the chances of premature birth?

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

This is her third baby. Her first child was premature. Her second child was only a week or so early. Has this ever happened to anyone or anyone you know? What were the outcomes? Thanks
She went to the doctor and they told her she was 1cm and they did a test to see if she would deliver early. But that was all they did.

Yikes she can stay dilated at 1cm for a long time but if she’s lost ALL of her mucus plug I say chances are high for premature birth. But if it’s only little pieces, it can regenerate… I was born at 7 months and I am doing great so her baby can have a bright future ahead of him/her.’

I believe though she needs to call her doctor now if she’s lost all of her mucus plug.

Will a premature birth affect your actual signs?

otherwise i would have been a saggy sag

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

Apparently there was something wrong with the chromosomes - why would it have caused a premature birth? If my friends baby had survived (born at 28 weeks - 20 years ago), would there be any long term effects?

Thanks!

could be downs syndrome or Trisomy 18
