What are the chances of preventing pre term labour in 2nd pregnancy? what are the options?1st baby was born @ 35wks+3days. baby was fine.

Please discuss with : Your ob, as the cervical length can be monitored, if the cervix starts to shorten , more chance of preterm labor , also your OB if your OB feels it is indictated can get you on Progesterone injections once per week until 37 weeks to help prevent preterm labor.
