What are the chances of having consecutive pre-term births?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
15-20%: The risk of having a preterm delivery is about 10%. If you have had one preterm delivery then your risk with the next pregnancy is increased to about 15-20%. If you have had two preterm deliveries then your risk with the next pregnancy could be 30%. Ask your doctor about 17-oh progesterone.
