Anyone here with a preemie?

Hi guys,

today exactly before 1 year I got my first baby, 3 months too early. Now I'm in the 15th week with my second and so damn scared to go through all of this again... The NICU, incubator, all the cables and searings plus all the worries we had about our little one.
I find my self thinking all the time: just 10 weeks, then hello be able to survive outside the womb.
But i don't wanna this. I wanna go through all the 40 weeks! I was so angry at other women when they said how annoyed they were about their pregnancy the last weeks of it. I hated them, I envied them. They just don't know how lucky they were...

They say once a preemie always preemies. What's your experience?

that is so not true unless there is something wrong with the mother. something that causes the early labour...

I had a preemie buy only 34 weeks. I'm 22 weeks pregnnat now. I just got put on progesterone though it's a shot or saposatories u can use that changed the matrix of ur cervix. Hopefully it will hold. I also get bi weekly cervix ultrasounds to measure it. It's at a 5 now which is perfect. I've never had a shirt cervix either just anyone pregnnat whom had a preemie in the past should atleast know about progesterone. Idk. Don't worry so much.

I hope so. I'm just still afraid that something will go wrong as it went wrong the first time. If I knew a reason why it happened last time I'd feel more comfortable. But to not have a reason at all is just terrifying. It could just happen again. Any day. That's what scares me...:(
