Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have read your question closely, I understand your concern and will be helping you with your health related problem. Yes it might affect the time of delivery so I would suggest you not to do any thing without doctor's detailed checkup and advise. As timing of birth and duration of pregnancy are crucial, and a premature baby can have many problems, some of them may sustain for whole life and effect quality of life.

I hope this answered your question. If you have more queries I am happy to answer you.
