Preterm birth is a significant problem in the world and affects one in 10 pregnancies in the US.
Any early birth anytime before 37 weeks. Could lead to a host of negative outcomes, both for the mother and the baby.
What can be done?

Dr. Hoffman’s most recent publication about aspirin use in pregnancy: https://journals.lww.com/greenjournal/citation/2024/03000/aspirin_in_pregnancy.27.aspx
