Currently pregnant with no 2. No 1 was born at 34+1 after PPROMS at 33+6. didn't seem to be any rhyme or reason for it. Now 25 weeks and been signed off by premature birth team as can't see any risk factors (really all they did was checked my cervix which i know wasn't weak in the first anyway as it was closed and hard 4 hours before DD was born).

Anyone else had a 33-36 weeker and can share when their second arrived.

My first was born at 35 weeks, 2nd arrived the day before her due date.

Both of mine were early 31 weeks and 33 weeks. Pre eclampsia. Both are absolutely fine now

My first was born at 32 weeks (34 years ago) my second at 34 weeks.

Very similar to you with first. Second came at 38 weeks with a spontaneous very slow first stage that lasted about a week.

First 28 weeks, second tried at 29 weeks but they managed to medically delay until 34. Both spontaneous labours.

DC1 was 34+0 after PPROM for no apparent reason

DC2 was 36+6

Same as had prom 36 weeks, baby born just before 37 week mark. second came 40+2. Consultant said no reason second will come early, most often it happens due to an undiagnosed UTI, which isn't any more likely to happen twice. Interestingly, they were both roughly the same size, so I think my first was a quick grower and ready. I also had waters break before any constractions for my second though.
