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.

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Baby Movements

Hello, I’m a FTM currently 18W5D pregnant. I’ve been getting this tugging feeling in my stomach after I eat, it’s uncomfortable but not painful. I don’t know whether that’s the baby moving or round ligaments pain.

I’ve also been getting round ligament pain which is either a sharp stabbing pain or a stretching sensation. These happens whether or not I’ve eaten while the tugging feeling is only after I’ve eaten.

So, could the tugging feeling be the baby or something else.
