Pampered Pregger & Beyond is a doula and nursing service offering various supportive resources for the perinatal mom.

Preterm labor is labor that occurs before your 37th week of pregnancy. (Most pregnancies last 38-42 weeks; your due date is 40 weeks after the first day of your last menstrual period.)

Preterm labor can happen to any woman: Only about half the women who have preterm labor fall into any known risk group. About 12 percent of births (1 in 8) in the United States are preterm. Babies who are born preterm are at higher risk of needing hospitalization, having long-term health problems and of dying than babies born at the right time.

Pampered Pregger & Beyond offers a peer online discussion group, Pre Term Labor, as a supportive resource for bed resting or non bed resting moms seeking support from other moms in the same boat. Here you will find support from moms with the same emotions as well as moms who have passed through this phase who can offer support and comfort.
