A member asked:
My first child was a preterm baby ( 37 weeks ) what's the chances of having my second child a preterm baby as well ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
37 weeks = term: if completed 37 weeks pregnancy, that's full term, as for the chances of having a preterm baby in your next pregnancy is extremely variable, once pregnant, have good prenatal care that's the main advice and main prophylaxis against abnormal pregnancy, good luck
