A specialist clinic at Ipswich Hospital is now offering targeted support to help reduce the chances of an early delivery.
The pre-term prevention clinic was launched this year to reduce the number of women delivering early, or losing their babies because of a late miscarriage.
The clinic offers at-risk women check ups every two to four weeks so any changes which indicate they are likely to go into labour early can be picked up.
Once the risk has been identified, a range of things can be done to prolong the pregnancy.
