I had my daughter at 25 weeks like your daughter she had no major complications just had have oxygen and use a feeding tube. She was also in the nicu only for 3 months. I got pregnant 2 months layer I had a miscarriage at 18 weeks. Im now pregnant again only 8 weeks and I'm concerned. However I switched doctors and she went over my previous pregnancies and said it kooks like I have a incompetent cervix. I just left my high risk follow up and they mentioned that I should get a cerclage. It's a procedure were your cervix is stitched to avoid rupturing of the membranes. I also will have to get progesterone shots every week. So you just never know make sure to share your concerns with ur obgyn. Hope this was helpful feel free to message me anytime.

I do know that since you have a history with it, the doctors will monitor you very closely. :) They may recommend you not working as you get closer to your due date or if you start showing signs, but all pregnancies are different. They'll watch you closely, so I wouldn't worry.
