When birth occurs between 20 weeks of pregnancy and 37 weeks of pregnancy, it is called preterm birth. Preterm birth is a concern because babies who are born too early may not be fully developed. They may be born with serious health problems. Some health problems, like cerebral palsy, can last a lifetime. Other problems, such as learning disabilities, may appear later in childhood or even in adulthood.
