Chances just as high for women who go into labor naturally as those who are induced. TUESDAY, July 12, 2016 (HealthDay News) — Women who give birth to their first child even a couple of weeks early are up to three times more likely to deliver their next baby prematurely, new research suggests.

So you might need to consider getting to the place where you will give birth faster than last time.
