Just that really! My first came at 35+5 for no apparent reason, I had a really smooth pregnancy, healthy no health concerns ect but she just decided to come early I know she wasn't mega prem but still prem, she was a good weight didn't require treatment ect.
This time round I've requested a section, due to the poor treatment of the birth of my first, I was experiencing labour pains at home for 3 days, not checked by anyone triage just put it down to a water infection which I was prescribed antibiotics for without my urine even being tested it was just a shambles, and when I finally pushed to be seen driving myself to the hospital i was 9cm when I got there! So it was to late to try and stop labour ect! I know they only book planned sections in from 39 weeks so I'm worried I might not even get to that! So my question is if you had a prem baby, how long did you carry for the second time around?
Thanks x

First at 36 weeks and 6 days. Pretty small.

Second came the morning after their due date. Absolutely huge! 😁

First 2 months early. 2nd and 5th one month early. 3rd and 4th one day early. They were good to me .... especially the last. Don't recommend the first obviously but DC is.absolutely fine. No long term effect.

First born at 24 weeks. Second came at 38 weeks after a huge amount of treatment to hold him in!

First at 32 weeks and tiny, just over 1000g. Second 31 weeks and an ounce smaller. I had Pre eclampsia though.

1st was 34.6 weeks, 3lbs 4, waters broke at 30 though so hung on well. Dd2 was 35.6 at 5lbs 4 and dts were 30 weeks at 2lbs 4 and 3lbs. I love babies, but my body clearly doesn't. Absolutely no reason found for early/small babies. No more! Can't handle one more day in scbu Grin
