Guest guest Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 According to our vaidyas, this is often caused by high maternal vata type undernourishment - sometimes the mothers are so concerned to keep their weight down, or perhaps their digestion is so weak or ama for other reasons high tht nourishment is not ab sorbed. The womb becomes tight, constrictive, and not nourishing, and baby secretes protective hormones to create labor, according to notes shared by 2nd year graduate at the Ayurvedic Institute with Dr. Vasant Lad. Unstabilities in the ojas of mom and baby from moving or traveling in 8th month especially also can be involved. Namaste; Ysha http://v.mercola.com/blogs/public_blog/More-Babies-Are-Being-Born-Prematurely-44\ 126.aspx Preterm birth rates continued to rise in 2005, and preliminary data for 2006 suggests that the trend is continuing. In 2005, more than 525,000 babies, or 12.7 percent, were born at less than 37 weeks gestation. That's an increase from 12.5 percent in 2004. 2006 likely saw 12.8 percent premature births, or about 543,000 babies. The preterm birth rate has increased more than 20 percent since 1990. Prematurity is the leading cause of death in the first month of life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
