Q: If you have one baby early, will your next one be more likely to come early too?

With my son I had a moderately healthy pregnancy I was watching what I ate, no caffeine etc. and I had spontaneous rupture of membranes at 36 weeks +1 day. My son was big though, almost 8 lbs. my dates were exact. I had a dating ultrasound at 6 weeks and knew my last period matched up so idk why my water broke out of nowhere but it was just a slow leak I didn't even realize until a day later it was probably my water. Anyways my son was healthy he just had problems drinking milk. I'm now 15 weeks with my second and let me say raising my 19 month old and working full time while pregnant there's not too much time to be 100% healthy. In fact I drink soda everyday but only about 2 glasses of it so I am drinking caffeine and I have a weird diet one day I'm healthy the next im eating Doritos and snickers. I'm a healthy weight and so far my doctor said im perfectly healthy as I was with my first but I'm very anxious about having this baby early or even earlier than my last... Am I more likely?

I have had 5 babies. My 1st was at 37 weeks, my 2nd at 35 weeks & 3rd at 36 weeks, 4th at 36 weeks and last at 35 weeks. So with me never made it to 37 weeks as with my 1st. I'm hoping to make it longer with this baby. I'm 23 weeks along. My doctor says It has to do with low progesterone. GL!!!

No every pregnancy and labor is different, hun. Just try to relax though I know that's hard hen you already have kids (have a 2.5 year old, and an autistic 8 year old).
