Premature birth is a birth that will take more than three weeks before the baby's estimated due date. In other words, premature birth that is before the start of the 37th week of pregnancy. Premature babies, especially those who born very early, often have complicated health problems. Typically, complications of prematurity vary. But the earlier your baby is born, the more the risk of complications.

Depends on how early a baby is born, he or she may be:

• Late preterm, born between 34 & 36 completed weeks of pregnancy
• Moderately preterm, born between 32 & 34 weeks of pregnancy
• Very preterm, born at less than 32 weeks of pregnancy
• Extremely preterm, born at or before 25 weeks of pregnancy
