Anyone have a preemie, then full-term or longer for second baby?

I had my first daughter at 36 weeks, and I do know that you are more likely to have another preterm baby if you have already had one. Anyone have a preemie then go full-term, or even passed their due date?

Update:

There was not particular reason for my preterm birth, my water broke normally and my baby was COMPLETELY healthy!

    My daughter was born at 33 weeks, I haven't had another one yet but I don't think you would be more likely to have a preemie again because most preemies are born early for a reason that would only be related to that pregnancy not pregnancies to come. For instance my daughter was born early because I was on depo prevara when I conceived her. Since I won't be on depo prevara when I conceive my next child it won't cause a premature birth.
