preterm labor/2nd pregnancy

How many ladies had preterm labor with their first pregnancy? What about your 2nd pregnancy or more? My first born came 5 weeks early.

I'm now 31 weeks with my 2nd pregnancy and wondering if I should be worried about it happening this time around also. So far everything seems fine, but then again everything was going fine with my first until my placenta ruptured. I'm worried I'm going to stress myself over him coming early and it make me go into preterm labor this time also.

This is baby #4 and all
3 of my others have come early. I've always been put on bedrest at 21weeks. This time I started progesterone injections at 16 weeks and I'm doing great now, with no bedrest

I'm in the same boat. I'm pregnant with my 3rd, and both of my other kids were preterm by 3 weeks. I kinda can't wait for her to come, so in a way I want to be preterm, but I don't want anything to be wrong with her. Both of my older kids were born completely healthy and were released from the hospital within 24 hours of their birth. Good luck to you, and pray for a healthy baby rather than worring about when the baby is going to show up. That's what I have to keep reminding myself.
