A Full-Term Pregnancy normally lasts 40 weeks (38-42 weeks LMP).

Every week — even every day — that this full-term pregnancy is shortened can have negative effects on the baby.

Here are just a few of the SERIOUS RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH PRE-TERM BIRTH:

— admission to newborn ICU / hospital re-admission /
— respiratory problems / sepsis / jaundice /
— feeding & sucking problems / temperature regulation problems /
— brain injuries, i.e. cerebral palsy / school problems / behavior problems, i.e. ADHD /
— obesity & reduced insulin sensitivity

In Alabama, Non-Hispanic Blacks are 46% more likely to have preterm births than whites – they also abort at 3 TIMES the rate of whites (almost 60% of all abortions in AL are procured by Black women)…

Does anyone see a connection here?

Abortion can dramatically increase the risk of preterm birth in subsequent pregnancies… over 143 published studies worldwide show this abortion-preterm birth link…

In conclusion, 2 simple steps could DRAMATICALLY DECREASE PRETERM BIRTHS  —   & THUS DECREASE SERIOUS RISKS TO BABIES:

1) For elective births, let the baby begin the labor/birth process, normally at 40 weeks — it's Worth the Weight to Wait!!

2) Avoid Abortion to avoid compromising the mother's (your) cervix … this will protect against unplanned preterm labor and preterm birth in future pregnancies.

ELECTIVE DELIVERY SHOULD BE ELECTIVE FOR THE BABY!!

LET THE BABY START LABOR…
