It strongly depends on WHY you went into preterm labour as well.

Thats true. Mothers of previous preterm children are more likely to have reoccuring preterm babies

Every pregnancy is diff. My sister had her first daughter at 28 weeks but her second daughter she didn't have till she was almost 40 weeks. I think if u have had a baby premature ur more at risk to have another premature but it doesn't mean I will. Hopefully ur lil ones stay in as long as possible :) I know with my daughter I had to be induced at 40 weeks. with my son I went into premature labor 3 times and when ut was time fir him to come he wouldnt and I had to have a sweep done. Thia time im 33w2d and I started loosing my mucus plug at 31w and having contractions and cramping but nothing too serious.
