Some doctors believe this is a waste of time while others believe that more research is needed. There has been some success, but it is unclear whether it is due to the hyperbaric oxygen therapy or physical therapy.

UK researchers have discovered that antibiotics given to prevent premature birth can increase the risk of cerebral palsy. Through this research, they found that 4.6% of children developed cerebral palsy by age 7 if their mothers were given antibiotics. This is a far higher number than the 1.6% of children of mothers who did not take antibiotics.

It is inadvisable for women whose water has yet to break to take any kind of antibiotic unless they have an infection. While it is not common for antibiotics to be prescribed without infection, it does happen.
