My 1st baby was born at 29 weeks due to me having pre eclampsia.
I have found out i am pregnant again and would love to hear from anyone who has had a 'normal' 2nd pregnancy after their 1st ended with a premature birth.
Thanks in advance! xx

Hi I am not sure about this bit wanted to say congratulations. Don't worry because I know once you had one prem baby it doesn't necessarily mean that you will have another. I know you are probably worried about it because I know when I am pregnant again I will probably worry.

Congratulations on your pregnancy. You will be monitored more this time I think. My GP said if I had any further pregnancies I would be under the consultant although not planning anymore at the moment and im scared of delivering early again too. No cause was found for my premature birth, I just went into labour.

Good luck with this bubba and I hope it stays in until its fully cooked.

Thanks girls,i think i'm just going to take one day at a time and see what happens. I'm so excited about being pregnant and just want this pregnancy to go as smoothly as possible!
I suppose one good thing is if it happens again i will know what to expect!

hi nikr, i too had pre-eclampsia however i went fuul term, but i was assured by my doc that next time i would be closley monitered and they probably would give me medication throughout pregnany to prevent pre-eclampsia. Good luck xx

Hi Nikr, congratulations! This is a really good supportive, informative site:www.pesupport.friendhood.net/index.htm

Good luck this time round.xx

Hi, congratulations on your pregnancy!
My first was born at 29 weeks and I have just had another baby. She was born at 32 weeks so was still early but those extra 3 weeks did her good. I had a lot more scans in my 2nd pregnancy and they do keep a close eye on you. I know of people that have gone full term or even over due so try not to worry and take each day as it comes. Take care X

hi just wanted to say that my friend had her first baby at 28wks due to pre eclampsia and is due for her second baby 10th aug all is going great for her she has had loads of checkups so id try not to worry too much about it
