How many parents have had premature babies?
My son was born 9 weeks early. If you’ve had one preemie what are the odds of having another?
lots of first baby’s are preemies mostly because your body isn’t use to carry a child. My first was almost 2 1/2 months early and i did everything they sad. but my second baby was right on time. And don’t worry in most cases a doctor can determine if the baby will be early especially if there’s a history of it and be ready to give you safe medication to keep the baby were it needs to be for as long as possible.

Chances are that will be your only one. My sister has 5 children, her first born was a premature baby all the rest were born around or on the date.

I have had 3 children 2 being normal pregnancies and 1 being preemie, she was born at 27 weeks due to a trauma. A drunk driver hit me while I was pregnant with her. So I would have to say it depends on why your baby was preemie as to the odds of it happening again. Ask your doctor he/she would know. Good Luck

With every preemie you give birth to your chances of having another is quite possible.

I HAVE 4 CHILDREN MY 1ST 1 I CARRIED 2WKS. OVER MY DUE DATE, MY 2ND WAS 6WKS EARLY, MY 3RD WAS BORN AT 25WKS. GESTATION, MY 4TH WAS BORN AT 26WKS. I HAD MY 1ST 3 A LITTLE MORE THAN A YR APART SO, I THOUGHT THAT WAS WHY THEY WERE PREEMIES BECAUSE MY BODY WASN’T HAVING TIME TO HEAL IN BETWEEN. BUT, I WAITED 5 YRS. TO HAVE MY 4TH AND SHE WAS ALSO PREMATURE.

I think the odds of having another preemie depends on the person. I know alot of people who have had more than one. My husband and his brother were both preemies and my grandma had 3 preemies, all boys, the girls were full term. My son was a preemie but that is because they had to do an emergency C-Section cause my son had an atrial flutter. (His heart rate was 220 bpm, and the top part of his heart was fluttering at 440 bpm)

I had two, both healthy now but I had other medical conditions that made my pregnancy high -risk. It was scary but I am not sure, but if I was healthy maybe they would not have been premature.

My sons were born five and a half weeks early, now at two months old, they weigh more than the average two month old and are very healthy boys.
