Is It Possible To Have Preterm Labor Due To Small Uterus?
My daughter was just admitted with what has been diagnosed as preterm labor. She is about 18 and 1/2 weeks pregnant. The OB on call did an untrasound and says she has a short uterus which is causing the preterm labor. She carried her first pregancy to term 11 years ago. Does this make sense to you?
