What You Need to Know Before Your Next Pregnancy

We are currently going through it at the moment. My son was born 22-10-2016 at 30+5 due to pprom and 18 months later I found out I was pregnant

Hi ladies! I am currently 18+2 weeks with my second baby. My son came early at 33 weeks after an unexpected PPROM. They are watching me closely this time around and I've been taking baby aspirin once a day since 10 weeks, Makena progesterone shots once a week since 16 weeks, and so far I'm not showing any signs that I will go early again. Has anyone had a full term baby the second time around after having a preemie the first time? If so did progesterone shots and everything help you? My doctor seems hopeful and I'm trying to stay positive. We were super lucky that our little man only had a 10 day NICU stay and has always met all of his milestones and is big for his age lol. Any stories would be appreciated!
