Pregnant women in the US tend to have a choice of either a natural childbirth or elective cesarean section . In the second case, a woman is guaranteed by a complete absence of pain and suffering, which, however, other women feel bound to feel like a real mother. However, the number of caesarean sections is constantly growing, and children are born much earlier than their term. This prompted the researchers to take decisive action.

The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, decided to review the concept of " in-time deliveries . "If we now gave birth at the deadline are considered mothers who gave birth to a child for a period of 37 weeks up to 40, then in the near future, the bottom bracket will move up to 39 weeks. But children who were born in the period from 37 to 39 weeks will be treated classified as Premature .

This change is necessary in order to curb the excessive number of early Caesarean sections   artificially caused by childbirth, which can lead to a variety of complications, dangerous for the child's health. Among them, breathing problems, allergies and other disorders. A recent study by scientists at Columbia University found that children born in the period from 37 to 38 weeks, worse in school.
