I was born early, but my mom was a smoker
back then
i think it depends on the circumstances of
why you were a premie, I was 2 mon early,
but my babies are always full term

They where both in the hospital for a
while james 2 months and zachary 1 month.
They are healthy as day and a joy to
have. It was a big scare for us though
something I dont wish on anyone
i think the hardest part was having to go
home with no baby.

I have a lot of stress right now in my
life and my friend says premature labor
can be brought on by stress. I hope not.
I want a full term baby I only have 77
days to go

I've heard that alot of stress can trigger
into labor, im not quite sure though. I
would just take it as easy as possible and
try to relax and enjoy!!

Yes it can be hereditary. That is why
when you go to the doc they ask if anyone
in your family has experienced pre-mature
labor. However, I don't think it's a
given that you will go into labor early
just because your mom g-ma or whoever did
but I think they just take more
precautions if that were the case testing
you more often fro pre-term labor and all
that good stuff. They do with me because
my brother and I and my sisters all came
early I went into early labor with my
daughter and was put on bed rest at 6
months but she came on her due date.
