Not all preterm births can be avoided and indeed, whether spontaneous (anticipated) or provider-initiated (planned) in onset, many are deemed necessary for the wellbeing of the māmā/person and/or pēpi. This section of Taonga Tuku Iho describes interventions that should be considered in the antenatal period, during labour, and at the time of birth to improve outcomes for pēpi after preterm birth.
