Had your first baby early??

Question

I had my son at 35 weeks.. but I’m not considered high risk. I did opt out of the Makena shot my son was completely fine. 
Anyone had there first baby early ?? What happened with your second?? Or is this your second and are you prepping for an early delivery?

Answer

I had my first emergency c section at 32 weeks to due hellp syndrome last August. As I’m now high risk we are doing a lot more monitoring (bloods and scans since I didn’t have high bp or protein). I had a little scare last week and got more tests but turns out it was just a margarine so I’m hoping all of the aspirin and calcium is working since I already had low iron and rib pain from the start of hellp last pregnancy at this time!

Answer

I had my 1st son at 34 weeks via emergency c-section in January, so since it’s so soon after and I had a c-section I have to have another one and I see a high risk doc plus my normal one and I am delivering early because they are concerned about uterine rupture..

Answer

My first was born at 36weeks and my doctor told me to prepare for another early baby most likely but she said anything could happen. They are just watching me a little closer near the end to make sure it’s not too early if it is.

Answer

My sister had her first 34 weeks...and her second had to be induced after 38 weeks

Answer

Me! I had my daughter at 34wks. She was in the NICU 2wks. I had a MC, and this is our rainbow babe. My insurance still will not approve the Makena shots.... so I’ve been using progesterone suppositories since 15wks. I’m 24wks now. I’m high risk (but not seeing a specialist, my OB specializes in them) but I’m also 35yrs old now. I’ve had a cervical ultrasound to assure my cervix isn’t a factor, and it’s not. They really have no idea why my daughter came early.... and everything this pregnancy looks “normal” other then she’s measuring a little small. My daughter also measured small, but was “big” for a 34wk preemie at 5lbs 3oz. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m petite and my husband isn’t a huge guy, so I think genetically we will just have small kids. My daughter is 3.5yrs old and weighs 26lbs. She’s doomed to be petite. Anyway, she’s convinced I’ll be “cussing at her 39wks complaining how huge I feel”. I hope she’s right, but I’m terrified of having another preemie along with having a toddler to care for. Genetic wise..... I was 3wks early, my sister was 3wks early, my nephew was 4wks early, and then my daughter was 6wks early. So I kinda wonder if genetic plays a roll.

Answer

My first was spontaneous labor at 37 weeks. My second was preterm labor at 20 weeks. This is my third, with the Makena, and monitoring. I’ve been admitted to stop contractions once, and had to get a cerclage today at 23+4.
