The guideline establishes the additional care a woman – who is at risk of, or in suspected or confirmed preterm labour – should receive before and during birth. The care aims to prevent or delay premature birth and therefore reduce the associated risks to the baby.
A public consultation regarding the guideline is open until 2 July 2015.
The final guideline is expected to be published later this year.
In a statement, Dr Manish Gupta, Co-Chair of the RCOG Guidelines Committee, said: "Around 60,000 babies are born prematurely each year in the UK and many suffer lifelong consequences as a result.
"The NICE guideline will offer a comprehensive picture for healthcare professionals on the best way to provide treatment for women who present with symptoms and signs or preterm labour.
"It will also review how preterm birth can be optimally diagnosed in symptomatic women, given that many women thought to be in preterm labour on clinical assessment will not deliver prematurely.
"The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists will be submitting to the consultation ensuring that all of the latest scientific evidence on delaying early labour and preventing pre-term birth are incorporated within the new guideline.
"It is our role as care providers to ensure that women and their babies receive the best possible care and we are committed to tackling premature birth."
The draft guideline is available to view online here.
