You've probably heard that you should take your birth control pill at the same time every day and it's a good habit to get in for a couple of reasons. First, taking your pill at a specific time helps make it as essential to your routine as brushing your teeth, which is important because taking the pill regularly also helps to ensure it does what it's supposed to do, and that is prevent pregnancy.

Overall survival of babies born extremely preterm has improved in recent years, but evidence for improvements in longer term neurodevelopmental outcomes is limited Recent changes in obstetric care include how, when, and to whom to administer steroids, surfactant, and new treatments such as antenatal magnesium sulphate or delayed cord clamping and placental transfusion Active participation of parents in treatment may positively influence bonding as well as longer term outcomes for child and family Variability in provision of care for extreme preterm birth has an impact on morbidity and mortality outcomes Extreme preterm birth has a social impact, on mothers, fathers, children born preterm, and their families; the value of investing early in life to prevent later complications is now widely recognised Extreme preterm birth, defined as birth before 28 weeks gestational age (box 1),1 affects about two to five in every 1000 pregnancies, and varies slightly by country and by definitions used. Severe maternal morbidity, including sepsis and peripartum haemorrhage, affects around a quarter of mothers delivering at these gestations.2 For the babies, survival and morbidity rates vary, particularly by gestational age at delivery but also according to other risk factors (birth weight and sex, for example) and by country.34 In this update, we focus on high income countries and provide a broad overview of extreme preterm birth epidemiology, recent changes, and best practices in obstetric and neonatal management, including new treatments such as antenatal magnesium sulphate or changes in delivery management such as delayed cord clamping and placental transfusion. We cover short and long term medical, psychological, and experiential consequences for individuals born extremely preterm, their mothers and families, as well as preventive measures that may reduce the incidence of extreme preterm birth.
