[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One article of many - Preterm Birth and Childhood Psychiatric Disorders: https://www.nature.com/articles/pr9201188#:~:text=Preterm%20birth%20and%20LBW%20have,)%20(7%E2%80%9310). [/quote] Thank you. “Epidemiologic studies identified preterm birth as a significant risk factor for psychiatric disorders.”[/quote] It's important to note that this article states that the risk is greatest in babies born at less than 32 weeks gestation. What OP is asking about, 6 weeks early, which would be 34 weeks gestation, is considered late preterm and is associated with better immediate an long term outcomes. Each additional week gestation is important. [/quote] This does not mean zero risk to 24 weekers.[/quote]
