Hi iam pregnancy in 34 week to second pregnancy the first pregnancy born in 36 week is second born in 36 or not?

Hopefully not: Having a prior pre-term birth does increase your risk of another. However, many women with a prior pre-term birth go on to have a full-term pregnancy in the following pregnancy. Best wishes!

Possibly: It depends on why you delivered the first child preterm. If it was preterm labor, it is highly likely that it will be repeated. If it was preeclampsia or ruptured membranes or something more unique to the specific pregnancy, then the answer is no. Talk to your Obstetrician about this and come up with a plan of management.
