Multiple preemies?

Hey mamas! Sorry if this is a weird question, but for anyone who had a preemie and then has been through future pregnancies, did you end up having a preemie again? I am pregnant with my second and just trying to see if I should be mentally prepared for birth around 36 weeks again or if you had significantly different experiences with future pregnancies?

I plan on talking to my OB about it, but just curious to hear personal insights from other mamas 🖤

Hey, I had 2 different outcomes with my pregnancies. My preemie at 27+5 and my second at 37 weeks exactly. My 2nd tried to come out at 28 weeks but drs were able to stop it. The only reason 2nd was at 37 was more so for pre eclampsia. But he was the bigger baby at 7lb so he was harder to get out lol. I have heard other moms say they have had multiple preemies, you just never know. I would say though 36 week is still really close to not preemie so if you had another then unless something went really wrong in pregnancy I would think wouldn't be that bad in my mind.

My first was 28 weeks and my second was 37, genuinely think it’s luck of the draw unless you’re susceptible to something like preeclampsia or a short cervix

So my first was born at 33 weeks. We where in hospital with this pregnancy as welk as the doctors thought i might give birth at 26 weeks however I am now 36+5 and will be 37 weeks on saturday so almost at the exact full term mark.

Do active babies in the womb become active newborns?

I had my 40 week ultrasound yesterday (on my due date) and the doctor mentioned how active my baby is. Curious as to your experiences regarding if your baby was active in the womb, are they likely to be active when they’re newborn? 😊

Small bumps

I have a really small bump, at 27 weeks pregnant. People keep commenting on the fact my bump is so small and its starting to worry & get me down. Has anyone here had a small bump with a baby that weighed measured average size? Its really worrying me! I have a 30 week scan and one at 37 weeks because im on a moderate pathway - had a gastric sleeve in 2023 so its to check she is growing but as the comments are coming im now panicking where I wasnt before 😫

Early Labour?

I’m 34 weeks today, since 3am I’ve been having irregular cramping which becomes quite intense and has caused me to vomit. I’ve also had diarrhoea. Could I be in early labour or could I just have a bad stomach? I feel generally well in myself

7 w post c-section running

When is it ok to start running again? Health visitor advised to wait longer before running but did anyone start at 7 weeks and how?
I know I won't be running marathons any time soon and probably have to start back at a couch to 5k but when?! I'm getting restless legs! Advice please

28wk5days growth scan📈

I’ve just been to my first growth scan as my bump was measuring small, for the lady to say that baby should be between 2pound 2ounces - 2pound 5ounces and my baby is measuring 2pound 15ounces which is above average, any one else has similar measurements?x
