Why did you have a preemie?

Question

Just had my postpartum appt and doctor said there could have been several reasons why I went into preterm labor (I had a 28 weeker).
Doctor said I have a bicornuate uterus (heart-shaped uterus) and that usually doesn’t give enough room for baby to grow.
My placenta was also infected when I delivered, which could be another reason. Doctor thought it was strange the placenta was infected because apparently it usually happens after your water breaks and they had to break my water.
I have a follow up appointment to do more research into this because I want more babies!
I’m curious to know why you went into preterm labor!

Answer

Well I go for my postpartum appointment Monday so don’t know for certain but so far I’ve been told at delivery it was because my placenta abrupted but don’t know why yet. They sent my placenta to pathology so I’ll be interested to know what came of that. I can’t wait to know the cause though so I can see how to avoid it (if possible) again if we decide on another baby.

My water broke, my mom had my sister prematurely too and my grandma had one preterm baby. No one knows why, they all had multiple pregnancies and my second just born at 37 weeks (I was taking Makena shots too). Is a mystery in my family I guess.

Answer

My First preemie I had at 30 weeks.. I think for me it was because I didn't give my body or my uterus enough time to heal prior to my pregnancy I have a 10 month old. So I had my kids back to back. My second preemie I had a 30 weeks also, was getting progesterone shots so I wouldn't go into preterm labor, everything was going fine I got the flu missed one shot, went to the hospital since my fever wouldn't go down. They told me I had ammonia so I was hospitalized and I think since I went into pre-term labor my body was just so stressed. I went into labor still having  ammonia it was the worst.
