I took two hpt's and both bfp. 4th pregnancy but last baby was preemie. Im an emotional wreck as I am afraid to go through this again. I cant imagine going through it again.

I've had 2 previous preterm labors.Im not pregnant with my3rd baby. Its easy to get pregnant,you justhave to take extra precautionswhen you have a history of preterm births. Since mine are due to incompetent cervix, with all pregnancies I have to be takenout of work andput on full bed rest.I see my obgyn as well as  a high risk doctor and get steroid shots for the baby' weekly. I also get cerclages (stitches in my cervix) to hold the baby in

For me getting pregnant is the easy part but staying pregnant is the problem.   I lost a baby at 24 weeks.   Got pregnant 3 months later and had a chemical pregnancy and then got pregnant 3 months later with my current pregnancy.   I am now 6 weeks with identical twins and scared out of my mind.   I am considered extremely high risk due to my previous preterm delivery at 24 weeks & even more so now that im pregnant with twins.   So im not much help right now but im hoping that this pregnancy will be successful.
