I'm also on the Facebook support board for SPD. I know it has come up a few times about whether being a preemie predisposes someone to SPD. Or some believe that a traumatic birth experience will "cause" SPD.
I had a perfect pregnancy with my older son... until my water broke at 36 weeks. He weighed 5 lbs, 14 oz at birth and didn't have to spend any time in the NICU. He could breathe fine on his own. He developed jaundice but was otherwise healthy. He weighed 5 lbs, 8 oz when we left the hospital 2 days later.
So he was technically a preemie, but has been relatively healthy. No major illnesses or medical problems. He has had all his vaccines on time.
I still lean toward genetics since I see so much of myself and my mom in my son.
What do you all think? For those who have SPD but don't have kids, were you premature? Did your mom have any trouble with her pregnancy with you? Does anyone else in your family seem to have similar issues?
