In this book, John Lantos and Diane Lauderdale examine why the rate of preterm birth in the United States remains high--even though more women have access to prenatal care now than three decades ago. They also analyze a puzzling paradox: why, even as the rate of preterm birth rose through the 1990s and early 2000s, the rate of infant mortality steadily decreased. Lantos and Lauderdale explore both the medical practices that might give rise to these trends as well as some of the demographic changes that have occurred over these years. American women now delay childbearing, for example, and have fewer babies. Doctors are better able to monitor fetal health and well-being. Prenatal care has changed, no longer focusing solely on the health of the pregnant woman. Today, the fetus has become a patient, and many preterm births are medically induced because of concern for the well-being of the fetus. Preterm birth is no longer synonymous with a bad outcome. Sometimes, it is necessary for a good one. --$$cProvided by publisher. 001386226 588__ $$aOCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record. 001386226 650_0 $$aPremature labor$$zUnited States. 001386226 650_0 $$aPremature infants$$zUnited States. 001386226 653__ $$aPHILOSOPHY/Ethics & Bioethics 001386226 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001386226 7001_ $$aLauderdale, Diane S.,$$d1955-$$eauthor. 001386226 852__ $$bebk 001386226 85640 $$3MIT Press$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/10389.001.0001?locatt=mode:legacy$$zOnline Access through The MIT Press Direct 001386226 85642 $$3OCLC metadata license agreement$$uhttp://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf 001386226 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1386226$$pGLOBAL_SET 001386226 980__ $$aBIB 001386226 980__ $$aEBOOK 001386226 982__ $$aEbook 001386226 983__ $$aOnline
