Early signs of labor are important to look for during the pregnancy. Regular contractions and change in cervical dilatation prior to term (<36 weeks gestation) can lead to premature delivery.

There are tocolytic drugs that can be administered to help stop premature labor as well as a medical procedure called a cerclage when incompetent cerxix is diagnosed.
Therefore, it is important for health care providers to timely recognize and treat early signs of premature labor. When these signs are negligently missed, premature delivery can lead to neonatal problems including Hyaline’s Membrane Disease, Brain Bleeds, and Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC). If you may have experienced early signs of labor that were ignored by your doctor or nurse, I can investigate those circumstances to determine if you have a claim for medical negligence.
There are also situations where your obstetrician or perinatologist may unnecessarily recommend early delivery before term. As a result, your baby may have suffered brain damage from prematurity. If this is the case, you may have a claim against that health care provider
