Preterm birth (PTB), also known as premature birth, is the birth of a baby at fewer than 37 weeks' gestational age, as opposed to full term delivery at approximately 40 weeks.[1] PTB is defined as birth before 37 weeks gestation, very early PTB is before 32 weeks, early PTB occurs around 32-36 weeks, late PTB is between 34-36 weeks gestation and early term birth is delivered at 37-38 weeks gestation [8][9] Late PTB accounts for 75% of all PTB.[10]
These babies are known as premature babies or colloquially preemies (American English)[11] or premmies (Australian English).[12] Symptoms of preterm labor include uterine contractions which occur more often than every ten minutes or the leaking of fluid from the vagina.[13] Premature infants are at greater risk for cerebral palsy, delays in development, hearing problems and sight problems.[1] The earlier a baby is born, the greater these risks will be.[1]
The cause of preterm birth is often not known.[2] Risk factors include diabetes, high blood pressure, multiple gestation (being pregnant with more than one baby), being either obese or underweight, a number of vaginal infections, air pollution including tobacco smoking, and psychological stress.[2][3][14] It is recommended that labor not be medically induced before 39 weeks unless required for other medical reasons.[2] The same recommendation applies to cesarean section.[2] Medical reasons for early delivery include preeclampsia.[15]

If a baby is delivered at 25 weeks, how long will he need to stay in NICU?

[@MedicalCentric]

The duration a baby born at 25 weeks gestation would need to stay in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) can vary based on several factors, including the baby's overall health, weight at birth, and the presence of any complications. Generally, extremely premature babies born at 25 weeks may require an extended stay in the NICU, often ranging from several weeks to several months. These infants often need support for respiratory function, nutritional needs, and monitoring for potential complications associated with premature birth. The NICU team will provide specialized care and closely monitor the baby's development until they reach a point where they can thrive outside the intensive care setting. The duration of the NICU stay is individualized and depends on the baby's progress and ability to overcome the challenges associated with extreme prematurity.
