There are many reasons. One of the most common is that the mother has pre-eclampsia (high blood pressure, protein in the urine, swollen extremities) and the only way to cure it is by delivering the baby. The mother may have an infection which triggers premaure labor. (even 'flu can do it) The cervix may open slightly and allow the waters to break, so an open pathway for infection means the baby has to be delivered. The baby may have a condition which can only be treated once it is born, or the treatment may trigger premature labor, (e.g. blood group incompatibilty). Multiple pregnancy babies often just run out of room and have to be delivered, also a multiple pregnancy may trigger pre-eclampsia. these are the most common ones but there are many more and sometimes 'no-one knows' is the answer.
There are a number of reasons. Infection in the mother (especially with a raised temeprature) and a cervix which opens prematurely are two. Sometimes the baby is delivered by the doctors because of conditions like placenta previa (low lying placenta) and pre-eclampsia. Quite often there is no apparent cause.
Smoking during pregnancy doesn't help, and can cause lightweight babies who are born premature. Sometimes there might be a complication which means labor has to be induced or labor is triggered early, or if the baby has a genetic condition. It helps if you stay as healthy as possible when you're pregnant as it means there is an extremely small chance the baby will be born premature. A history of diseases might not help the baby as well.
A baby can be born premature because of a mother's drinking habits. She can also be premature if the mother isn't eating healthy. For example, if the mother is smoking the baby might end up premature.
Premature
Most babies were born at home in the early 1900's.
Babies that are born on or relatively near their due date are "most of the time" healthier that premature babies. Premature babies are born before there due date by weeks or even months. If they are born early, they wouldn't have grown to their full capability while still in their mom's stomach. Generally, if a woman is having early contractions and is heading into labor, the doctors will give her a medication to stop the pain/contractions. All in all, babies that are born premature aren't as fully grown as babies who are born on time.

female deer drop their babies in early spring late june.
Premature Baby
Pre = before It is early Pre-mature babies (that are born earlier than normal) are much smaller and weigh less than those who are born on time, or late.
Male cats cannot have babies, so they cannot have babies early.
No because the babies have week legs and can not run so early.
= If a baby is born early it's mature if the babies are born late probley mature or immature. I realy don't know. =
Second babies do not normally come early, but labor could be shorter.
Because the baby's body would not be fully developed and needs to have speicial care. :):):)
