My mom had complications during my sister's birth and mine. i was born at 6 months and we almost died. could pregnancy problems be genetic?

Depends: It really depends on what the problem was that caused her to deliver you early. And what the complication was with your sister. Things like preeclampsia can be seen to run in families. Get the finer details of what happened with you and your sister from your mother and discuss it with your ob/gyn.
