Medical researcher: As expected, records covering the last four years of ten major hospitals indicate that babies born prematurely were more likely to have low birth weights and to suffer from health problems than were babies not born prematurely  These records also indicate that mothers who had received adequate prenatal care were less likely to have low birth weight babies than were mothers who had received inadequate prenatal care
Adequate prenatal care, ttherefore, significantly decreases the risk of low birth weight babies
Women who receive adequate prenatal care, are less likely to give birth prematurely than are women who do not receive adequate prenatal care.
