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.
