Why Are There More Pre-term Babies Nowadays Than In The Past? by andico34: 2:58pm On Apr 05, 2022 |
I noticed this occurrence but I might be wrong. I went into the maternity ward of a hospital recently - of the 8 babies delivered within 24 hours, 5 of them were pre-term (less than 33 weeks). Why do I get the feeling that things have changed nowadays but health wise and environmentally. I would like to hear the views of doctors, nurses, scientists and mature minded persons on this. Thanks |

Every other thing happens faster as man artificially modifies his nature in the process of maximizing his potentials. Birth cannot be different. Riches and poverty now happen faster. War starts faster these days. Dating happens faster these days. Sexual intercourse happens faster these days. Breakup happens faster. Children even grow faster and do adult things at an earlier age. Traveling, manufacturing and destruction happen faster these days. 3 Likes |

Because in the past, very few preterm babies would survive. Decades ago, a baby born preterm at 6 months would have been just another 'miscarriage'. |
