premature labor.

So Saturday I went to the hospital due to premature contractions. They had to give me a shot in the arm to stop the contractions so I wouldn't start dilating. My question is if my boyfriends mom was born premature and I have a brother who was born premature is it possible for me to go into to premature labor?

My son was born two months early and only spent 16 days in the NICU! He had hardly any problems, try not to stress! It will be ok :)

I'm hoping she does at lease for 4 more weeks when I'll be 37 weeks.

Premature labor doesnt have to do with genetics. But theres always a chance. Hopefully your little one can wait though!
