    Premature Birth - is it genetic???

    My mother has four children, three of them were six weeks early and one was four weeks early. Is there a genetic disposition to premature births, ie can I expect to go early because my mother went early all the time?

    Ta!

    My mum had me three weeks early and my sister 4 weeks early, and my sister gave birth to her DD 5 weeks early, but I had no signs of giving birth on my edd, and had a c-sect that day, and my DS wasn't anywhere near engaged. HTH hun. xo

    Interesting topic.

    My Mum went on time with my sister and was overdue with me. I've just given birth to my first Bub and he was 5 weeks early by planned caesar due to bleeding.
