[quote=Anonymous]My mother's labor issues were mine too, but my mother's sisters had very different experiences. So ? Specifically, my mother needed progesterone injections to stop premature labor and prevent early birth. Unfortunately my doctor and I overlooked this with my first and he was born premature at 32 weeks. I had progesterone injections with my second and the minute the last injection lost its effect I went into labor. As a biologist, I am convinced that labor and birth are affected by genetic AND environmental characteristics. So people will observe a family resemblance more often in cases of abnormal birth, where the genetic predispositions are so strong that they override most environmental pressures.[/quote]
