While not all breathing difficulties can be prevented, certain measures can reduce the risk:
Prenatal Care: Regular check-ups and proper management of maternal health conditions can help prevent premature birth. Steroid Injections: Administered to mothers at risk of preterm delivery to accelerate fetal lung maturity. Avoiding Elective Early Deliveries: Ensuring that deliveries are not scheduled before 39 weeks without a medical reason. Managing Infections: Promptly treating maternal infections to minimize the risk of congenital pneumonia.
