First ds was premature, what is the likelihood that the second will be too?

Hi,
I'm currently 23 weeks pregnant with ds2.

Ds1 was born at 32+4. There were no obvious reasons for him to be born that early. He came very quickly when I was home alone do I had to deliver him myself.
We then spent 4 weeks in scu to establish bf.

I'm worried I will have this one early too and I'm wondering what others have experienced with the second pregnancy after a premature first birth.

My hospital bag will be packed early this time so I don't have to go to hospital with just a pair of pyjamas and a pair or trainers

I've got an appointment with the consultant at 32 weeks to see how everything is going.

My first was 31 weeks, waters went with no warning and she was born the next day. No explanations.

With DD2 I went to term plus 11 days when I had an appointment for induction - she arrived early that morning all by herself. I saw my consultant early on (at 12 weeks) and they did a cervical stitch for me at 16 weeks I think. I saw the same consultant that delivered DD1 and she has cerebral palsy, which almost certainly was caused by her birth. The consultant gave me her details and said if I ever had a second she would help me. As well as the stitch I had progesterone suppositories. Whether I'd have given birth early again without these I don't know, but second child is totally NT.

DD2 was born last night at 9.19pm weighing 3lbs. 31 weeker! She’s fab x
