I hope your LO stays put for a few more weeks! :goodluck: </p> <p>@pinkb: wow that's great news! Thanks for giving me a little hope :happy:</p> <p>@kayla0416: I'm glad she was able to keep #2 cooking a bit longer with bed rest! I have a feeling I could end up there as well. We'll see, its early yet for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-first-baby-was-earlypreemie#post-2630950 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 11:58:28 +0000 LAZB 2630950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first was 35w4d and my second was 36w3d, so almost an entire week later. I'm 34w1d now, and I'm planning on this little guy coming in the next week or two, but would be thrilled if he stayed in longer.<br /> Are you on progesterone shots? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-first-baby-was-earlypreemie#post-2630945 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 11:53:49 +0000 pinkb 2630945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went into preterm labor at 32 weeks. They were able to stop labor with meds and bed rest until 36 weeks when I had DD. There was no known cause for the preterm labor. So with DS I had progesterone injections from 15 weeks until 35/ 36 weeks to help stave off labor. It worked and DS was born on his due date at 40 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-first-baby-was-earlypreemie#post-2630910 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 11:12:11 +0000 kayla0416 2630910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not me, but my cousin had her first daughter at 29+5, and with the second one, she went into labor at 29+4. Her water didn't break and at the hospital they were able to stop it with drugs, but she was on hospitalized bed rest til 32 weeks. She got to go home, and ended up having baby #2 at about 34 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-first-baby-was-earlypreemie#post-2630888 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 10:42:38 +0000 psw27 2630888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you had your first LO early, did you have your second, (third, etc.) earlier? later? same time? </p> <p>My LO was born at 34w4 days and my doctor scared me a bit last week by saying that the goal is basically just to make sure I don't have my second any earlier. I thought the goal was to make it to term but she said that's probably not a reality for me. I've been pretty anxious since she said that so I'm just trying to get some perspective on what others have experienced. :bummed: </p>
