I agree that it really depends on the REASON for the first premature 
birth. I had no exact diagnosis as to why my daughter came 7 weeks 
early, but I personally feel stress had alot to do with it. I was 
handling the work of 3 people, due to several empty staff positions. My 
mother-im-law was in the terminal stages of lung cancer and hanging on by 
a thread (she lived long enough to meet her first, tiny granddaughter) 
and my husband was unemployed. Whew! Not surprising she came early, when 
I look back on it! What a year this has been...

I fully expect to have a normal full-term pregnancy, should I ever gather 
the courage to try this again :-)
