Scared of another preemie

At 26 weeks I pPROMed with my DD. After 4 days in the hospital I had her at 27 weeks. She was 1lb 14 oz. After 3 months in the NICU she came home. She its now almost 9 months and I'm 21 weeks pregnant with LO #2.

Im gonna say I'm scared to death. What if it all happens again? Those where the worst/hardest 3 months of my life. My bf (father of both kids) and I are not currently together. He is in SC and me and DD are 5 hours away staying with my mom. It all sucks. Im so scared about another preemie and what if we cant work things out as a couple.

I just started the progesterone shots, hoping to have a good outcome with those. Any other moms who had one preemie and then another pregnancy??

    They really monitored me with my second pregnancy.  And I did have to go in for hospital bedrest.  I will say that that couple of weeks in the hospital was difficult.  It was worth it, and everything worked out.  I mean I look at both of my pregnancies, and I realize that they were not perfect.  But I have two perfect kids now, and I am very thankful for the technology that was there for both of my preemies.
