(BBC) — The more abortions a woman has before her first child, the more likely she is to give birth prematurely, a study has suggested.
Data from all 300,858 first-time mothers in Finland between 1996 and 2008 was analysed.
The study showed women were three times more likely to have a very premature baby, born before 28 weeks, if they had had three or more abortions.
