[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This was your first ultrasound. You don’t know what to expect from the procedures or the questions from the tech, OP. You are likely just nervous.

I can bet one thing, though: what race are you and what race is the tech? [/quote]

This wasn't my first ultrasound. This is my second pregnancy. This was my first ultrasound during this pregnancy. I did not know what to expect in terms of questions about my preemie. They also didn't have records from my OB about my previous birth. She kept asking why he was premature. I don't know what caused my son to be premature. I went into labor naturally. I was never told there was a reason.

Lady, you don’t get it. She was asking routine questions that are important. No, you did not “naturally” go into labor. Our bodies don’t naturally give birth early. We give birth early when something atypical happens. It could have been an incompetent cervix, an infection, a medical condition that induced uterine contractions, or a million other things. Most likely, your preterm labor resulted from one of a handful of common explanations, some of which can be prevented this time around, and most can at least be monitored for. You are fortunate that you did not have complications with your first. However, you are now more likely to have another preemie, possibly even earlier. Please have some faith in your medical professionals, and if you don’t understand something you should ask for clarification. [/quote]
