Would I be considered high risk?

Question

Hi ladies just quick question in regards to high risk pregnancies, I have 2 babies and plan to have my third sometime later on, my last birth ended up as a preterm birth he came at 32 weeks and stayed in the hospital for a month.
Will my next pregnancy be considered a high risk pregnancy since I’ve given birth prematurely? Thank you!

Answer

Probably! I’m a preemie mama x3 and was always considered high risk. It also depends why you delivered early. If your doctor feels it was for a reason not likely to occur again, then you might be ok. Generally, if you have had a preemie, you will be high risk. I have an incompetent cervix, so I start dilating early and my labors are extremely quick once I feel labor pains...45-60 mins. Hopefully you don’t have any issues and deliver at term or later!

Answer

Majority of drs would automatically consider you high risk now

Answer

Most likely depending on why you had babe early. I am high risk on all my pregnancies because I have an IC and Need to do makena shots weekly and get a cerclage in place. My first came at 34 weeks, my second had contractions stopped once and came at 36 weeks, my third had contractions stopped twice and came a day shy of 37 weeks. I am on my fourth pregnancy and have had contractions stopped twice again and I am currently 35 weeks and I am already fully effaced and 2.5 dilated since 32 weeks and I constantly have contractions so I got put on procardia again like in my last pregnancy.

Answer

I think you’re at an increased risk for delivering preterm again, but I’m not sure if you’ll be considered high risk. 
I was induced and gave birth last June at 36 weeks for preeclampsia. I’m currently 19 weeks and my OB hasn’t said anything about me being high risk, just has me on aspirin to hopefully prevent it and since I’m having another back to back pregnancy I’m at increased risk to deliver early. If you’re planning on trying to conceive soon you could always make an appointment and talk to your doctor about it.
