The trend of women giving birth early, without a medical reason, poses various health risks to both the mother and child.

"For every day and every week before 39 weeks, it's an increasing risk to the baby," said Dr. Bryan Oshiro, vice chairman of obstetrics and gynecology at Loma Linda University. "The vast majority of early-term babies do fine, but it's like playing Russian roulette."

Shortening a pregnancy deliberately can curb the baby's lung development, his vision, weight and tuning of the brain.
