There are a number of other risk factors for premature labour and delivery. Some of these risks, such as anemia, slow maternal weight gain, stressful work habits, smoking, drinking alcohol, and using drugs like cocaine, can be rectified during pregnancy.
However, going into premature labour can be linked with: 1  Having a very full and stretched womb (uterus). 2  Cervical weakness, or a short cervical length. 3  A history of spontaneous premature birth. 4  A bacterial infection in the bag containing the waters or in the amniotic fluid itself. 5  Your waters breaking early. 6  Heavy bleeding.
