Premature birth is no longer a rarity for women.
However, the question "why do they occur" appears in every future mommy. Some of the reasons can be really critical. Others are less. But a pregnant woman needs to know about each of them. 
Endocrine diseases
Typically, such diseases include the following: hyperandrogenism, diabetes mellitus, as well as problems with the thyroid gland. In such cases, the expectant mother requires careful monitoring by doctors, since with such problems, childbirth can begin even earlier than the due date.
Mother's age
This happens either with too young mothers (under 18) who are still in puberty themselves and have fewer opportunities for carrying a baby. Or, such a problem may affect older women. For them, it has more to do with the risks of genetic abnormalities in the fetus. Also at this age, a woman already has more serious health problems. For example, blood pressure or diabetes.Bad habits
A similar effect of toxic substances (tobacco, alcohol) can also adversely affect the embryo. For example, heavy smoking can cause the development of chromosomal and genetic diseases, fetal growth retardation.
A history of preterm labor
If a woman has already had a premature birth, she may very likely repeat this path again. Knowing this information, doctors increase control over the pregnant woman in order to prolong the pregnancy.
