I was told that age and weight do not play a role in whether or not someone is going to end up with PIH. Do you think it is possible that my last delivery was so severe due to the timing of each pregnancy? Nov. 97 first abruption at 26 weeks. Dec. 98 vback delivery at 38 weeks. Dec. 99 abruption at 34 weeks? Do you think that a larger "resting period" so to speak for my body may help in a more less-traumatic delivery/pregnancy? Would it be possible if I did decide to have another child to begin hormone shots mid-pregnancy incase early delivery does take place. Or a scheduled section prior to term? Assuming, of course, my condition isn't to severe prior to about 32-34 weeks?
