Not to be mean at all, but you are young and your mom is really the best person for you to ask these things. Plus the more trust you put in your mom the more trust she'll put in you.

Most pregnancies last about 40 weeks. Any baby born before 37 weeks is considered premature.
The babies at highest risk to die are the ones born very premature, before 32 weeks of pregnancy.
The overwhelming majority of our local babies that die are born more than three months premature. They are so small they can literally be held in the palm of your hand.
Premature babies are not just small, they are really not finished developing yet. They often have lungs that do not work on their own, brains that are not finished developing, and low resistance to illnesses.
Many premature babies do live but may have major health problems for life. Health challenges might include, for example: blindness, cerebral palsy, major problems eating or breathing, and developmental delays.
No one in the world knows exactly what causes premature birth. About half of all the premature births in the US have no known cause. Research continues around the globe.
While we wait for the answers, we can help prevent premature birth by helping all women be healthy before they become pregnant.
How to Prevent Premature Birth
Learn the signs of preterm labor. Women who start labor during their 5th or 6th month of pregnancy often are not even aware that they have started premature labor. Learn these signs so you can know when to call the doctor or go to the emergency room.
Contractions every 10 minutes or more often
Fluid (bloody or clear) leaking from your vagina – could be a trickle or a gush
Pelvic Pressure – the feeling that your body is pushing down
Low, dull backache
Cramps that feel like your period
Abdominal cramps – with or without diarrhea
For more information, visit the March of Dimes prematurity site.
