Ibs could actually trigger preterm labor contractions?

Yes.: Irritable bowel syndrome can be associated with chronic stress, depression, dehydration and inflammation, all of which can cause preterm contractions and birth. Psychotherapy and appropriate dietary advice may help prevent these dire pregnancy complications.
