Abstract
Patients with a history of two or more pregnancies which ended spontaneously before 37 weeks gestation had an increased risk of spontaneous pre-term labour and delivery in future pregnancies. This increased risk related mainly to previous second trimester abortions and not to previous first trimester abortions. Patients with one previous spontaneous pre-term labour and delivery had a 37 per cent risk, and those with two or more pre-term deliveries a 70 per cent risk of again delivering pre-term. There appeared to be no beneficial effect of cervical suture on the incidence of pre-term delivery in these patients.Keywords
