Previous high risk Mom considering #2!?

suitern · March 2013

Hello ladies! I was on bed rest for 4 months with my son (now 13 months) for preterm labor. I was just curious if any second time Mom's have any advice or experiences they care to share about if their second pregnancy. Was/is it similar in terms of bed rest or contractions like their first or was it completely normal? I am planning on seeing a new OBGYN to discuss a second pregnancy and what to expect with monitoring, preterm labor, etc. However, I wanted to check in over here and see if anyone could answer some of these questions from a personal aspect.

Keep those babies cooking ladies! You are all amazingly strong women. Best of luck to all of you!

Thanks ladies! I talked with my new Dr. and she said they would just have to see how the pregnancy goes (whenever I get pregnant). She said that we could monitor more for cervical length changes, do Progesterone shots, and even a possible cerclage.

my first pg was uneventful other than GD and I delivered on my due date.

My second, not so much. At 27 weeks I was dilated 2 cm, contracting and cervix measuring 1.5 cm. After 8 weeks of bed rest in and out of the hospital, he was born at 35 week
